The princess (finger puppet) and the Frog (hand puppet)

The princess (finger puppet) and the Frog (hand puppet). Children love puppets - present a child with a puppet and they think of of fun, adventure, stories and at the very least, they'll smile. From a parent/educator perspective puppets are fabulous for a child's development. Once put on a hand or finger, the child has to get the puppet to do something. It inspires them to be creative, imaginative and communicative in a way that very few other toys could achieve. Then, the child will want to put on a show providing joyous home entertainment (away from the screens) and further improving their speech and language skills and their confidence. Not surprisingly, puppets are used extensively in education worldwide.
