Finger Woodland Puppets - Set of 6

The Finger Woodland Puppets - Set of 6 are an essential resource for Communication and Language in the early years. Featuring high-quality, plush versions of a Fox, Owl, Badger, Squirrel, Hedgehog, and Rabbit, these puppets allow children to "act out" stories and explore character emotions. In an EYFS setting, puppets are particularly effective for encouraging reluctant speakers to express themselves through a character. They also support Understanding the World by helping children identify native British wildlife and discuss habitats. The puppets are sized to fit both child and adult fingers, facilitating collaborative role-play and helping children develop the fine motor control required for puppet manipulation and storytelling.
