Hand Puppet - Squirrel
Sweet and soft squirrel friend who's always ready for playtime and storytelling.
Use 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 an animal or a fantasy creature is doing the storytelling, it’s even easier for kids to use their imaginations and immerse themselves in the story.
Along with finger puppets, hand puppets are also perfect for puppet theatre. 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 saliva spraying everywhere.
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 13 x 22,5 x 20,5 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 developed by telling a story again and again.
When children are learning to understand stories, physical props can be very useful. A hand puppet allows your child practise storytelling. Also, they're a really nice way to make a story or fairy tale come alive. The storyteller is not hidden away behind a book but gets to be active and in close contact with the little listeners, who can actively participate in the story instead of just listening passively.
Hand puppets are great to use together at home and in nurseries and kindergartens – or for people with dementia or special needs.

- Unleash your imagination and see where playtime takes you.
- Gives your child's fine motor skills a playful boost.
