We are always reading in the papers or seeing on the news that children spend too long in front of the TV or computer screens. This can have a detrimental affect on their development. We are being encouraged by the experts to get children playing again!
We are looking to introduce more developmental toys into our range and we have just introduced some wonderful puppets and finger puppets.
Puppets help children in story telling and role play, encouraging creativity, imagination and language development, as well as being great fun!
- Puppets stimulate children's imaginations
- Puppets may help quieter children express hidden thoughts and feelings through the puppet by taking the focus off the individual
- Puppets may help well-known rhymes and stories come to life and help children interact
- Puppets provide a focus for role playing activities where they can become the character and act out imaginary stories
- Puppets can provide an element of fun to learning
- Puppets can be used as a teaching tool or in free play
- Puppets are enjoyed by adults as well as children!
