Hand Puppet 25.5 cm - Pig

Pigs rank among the top four most intelligent creatures — surpassed only by humans, apes, and dolphins. So if you’re explaining what it’s like to come from another country, what democracy means, or even how to count to 20, this clever pig makes the ideal teaching companion.

The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

Measures 25,5 x 17,5 x 7 cm.
Suitable for ages 0 mos. to 5 yrs.

Playing with hand puppets allows your child to practise telling and understanding a story with a beginning and an end. This is an important skill which can be practised by talking about a story while you're telling it, and telling it over and over.

When children are learning to understand stories, physical props can be very useful. With hand puppets, your child can experiment with telling stories. What's more, they're a super good way to bring storytelling to life. The storyteller is not hidden 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 and in childcare centres – or for people with special needs or dementia.
