Puppets

Puppets can be used in such an amazing variety of ways. Some children will be persuaded to interact with a puppet rather than an unfamiliar adult – useful for professionals who only have a limited amount of time to get to know a child. Children can also take a turn, encouraging interaction with their peers. Language development tasks can be made fun – imagine choosing food to give to one puppet or the other! We have a range of different puppets – we’re sure you will find exactly what you need!

Below, you will find the beautiful ‘Living Puppets’, for enhanced creativity and interaction. Lower down are the large animal puppets – excellent for when you need to give visual support for story in front of a group. We also have ‘Hide Away Puppets’, which would enhance familiar stories… or start stories of their own…
