Hand Puppet - Lion
Ferocious lion or big cuddly cat? That's up to the puppet master.
These sweet hand puppets from Belgian brand Beleduc are made from high-quality fabric, and they wrap snugly around the wrist for a secure fit.
Use the hand puppets when it’s time to talk about fun (or tricky) topics, or when story time calls for a little extra magic to bring the fairy tale to life.
When it’s an animal or a fantasy creature doing the storytelling, it’s even easier for kids to use their imagination and immerse themselves in the story.
Along with finger puppets, hand puppets are also perfect for puppet theatre. Among other things, you can use hand puppets to stimulate and develop your child's language through playful learning - maybe there's a little rabbit who also struggles to say “FFFF” without spit flying.
Machine washable on a delicate cycle.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Measures 25 x 21,5 x 7 cm.Suitable for ages 0 mos. to 5 yrs.
Play with hand puppets lets your child practise telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end. This is a very important skill which can be strengthened by telling a story again and again.
Hand puppets can bring a fairy tale or story to life. The reader telling the story is not hidden away behind a book but gets to be active and in contact with the little listeners, who get to be actively participating children instead of passive children.
Hand puppets are great to use at home with your child and in childcare centres – or for people with special needs or dementia.
The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:
- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Helps your child improve fine motor skills.
