Product Information

It’s important for kids to express these emotions safely and without upsetting anyone. And by allowing their puppet characters to feel these emotions, they can also develop the characteristics of sympathy and empathy. Listening Skills Putting on a puppet show often happens quite spontaneously when children have access to puppets. It is really encouraging to see how children develop their self-confidence through the act of handling a puppet. As their confidence grows they will be happy to entertain family or friends. You can see how to make a puppet theater here. Creativity

There are a number of motor skills that children can improve when playing with puppets. The fine movement required to wear a puppet helps with dexterity, and using fingers to manipulate the puppet improves fine motor coordination. Building Self Confidence Storytelling comes alive with puppets. Retelling favorite fairy tales–or creating one that is more personal–is a great way to put on a puppet show. Puppets can become the characters in your stories and allow your child to join in with the action.Children learn a lot from playing with puppets. These handheld toys have the potential to develop a variety of skills in your child. Here are the top benefits of playing with puppets in early childhood: Language Development

One of the things children are not good at is handling emotions. But interacting with puppets helps them cope with their feelings better. Younger children who are just starting to learn social skills, or those who are more withdrawn and timid, have an opportunity to be more sociable by using puppets.The puppet can be the voice used to correct table manners or other social skills. It can serve as an instructor, and children often enjoy listening to the puppet teaching them instead of mom or dad’s voice setting the rules again. Emotional Development For kids who are generally shy, allowing puppets to be their voice is a great way to pull them out of their shell. If your little one uses two puppets to get a dialogue going, encourage them. This can actually teach them how to keep conversations going. Social Development Children find it easier to have “conversations” with a puppet. Each verbal interaction with their puppet is a step closer to improving language development. Puppets are great tutors. The puppet on your hand can encourage your child to listen to it as it gives instructions or tells a story. Puppets can also help children to learn rhymes and songs as they imitate the puppet. Motor Skills
