JOLLY HELPERS - SET OF 4 HAND PUPPETS
Four simple glove puppets in a coordinated theme can act out a scene together, or be used separately for simple puppet play.
Either way, they are great for developing motor skills, hand-eye coordination, communication skills, self-confidence, parent-child bonding, and so much more!
Made with brightly patterned, washable fabrics and built to last, these soft and sweet hand puppets are sure to be go-to toys for years to come.
Jolly Helpers Hand Puppets include a police officer, firefighter, construction worker and doctor.
Discover Countless Ways To Play
- Help the child identify each puppet's occupation. Help the child give each puppet a name.
- Help the child describe the details on the puppets' outfits, and ask how each tool or accessory might be useful in their work.
- Place one puppet on your hand and one on the child's hand. Use your puppet to ask the child's puppet questions. For instance, "I like books about building things. What do you like to read at the library?"
- Use the puppets to act out a scene for the child. For instance, you might have the firefighter and doctor preparing for an emergency: talking about which supplies they might need, what each of them can do to help, and how they will get there. Allow the child to join in the scene or simply observe.
- Use the puppets to act out challenging social scenes and encourage the child to help resolve them. For instance, perhaps the police officer and the doctor both want to borrow the construction worker's hammer at the same time, or maybe the firefighter needs help but isn't sure how to ask a friend.
- Encourage the child to make up a story of his or her own and act it out as a puppet show.
