Hand Puppets - Farm Friends, 4 pcs
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

What makes this product special
All over the world, people across different cultures tell stories about the same themes. Telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end is an important skill to have. This skill can be improved by telling a story again and again and preferably talking about it along the way, asking questions, and adding your own touch to the story.
When children are learning to understand stories, physical props are a great help. A hand puppet allows your child practise storytelling. Also, they're a very nice way to make a story or fairy tale come alive. The reader telling the story does not get hidden away behind a book but gets to be active and in contact with the listening children, who become participants instead of passive listeners.
Hand puppets are great to use at home and in daycare – or for people with dementia or special needs.
This activity strengthens important skills which support your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Encourages your child to let their imagination soar.
- Boosts your child's fine motor skills through play.
- Strengthens your child's development and understanding of language.
