Create a lifelong appreciation and respect for alligators with a full-body, reptile puppet. Begin with showing the unique movements of an alligator while manipulating this realistic looking puppet. As your child continues to grow, expand this appreciation by building your very own alligator and then reading all about them.
Use your hand to make a bee fly and then learn all about the life of a honey bee. Use a horse hand puppet to help sing all about the life on a farm. When you are in the mood to play a game, you can experience life as a rancher and herd your horses.
Do you want to know what it is like to have a frog jump right off your hand? Use the long legs of the leopard frog puppet and see how far you can make him jump. Challenge young minds and keep them engaged by learning interesting facts about the longest surviving animals on earth.
Using puppets can be a lot of fun for children of all ages. Thinkbutton has expanded their puppet family to include some more exotic animals that will be a great addition to any puppet show or story time.
