This award-winning puppet is easy to animate. Insert your hand into the access point to find the movable mouth and arms while your free hand works the long tail.
Puppets foster interaction, inspire expression and nurture cooperation, all while helping kids develop social skills through playfully engaging with parents or peers. By encouraging expressive action, children gain confidence in their ability to positively affect their world, as "players on the stage of life". The pro-active nature of puppetry helps them explore the power of cause and effect, make visible their dreams, victories and fears and to make tangible the characters from their inner life.
