Hand Puppets and Glove Puppets
Puppets for a puppet show: hand puppets, glove puppets, finger puppets, animal puppets and complete puppet sets.
Speaking through a character
Children say things through a puppet that they would not say as themselves, which is why puppets are used in classrooms and in therapy. A puppet gives a voice, a name and a personality, all invented on the spot. Even one puppet is enough to start a story.
Which puppets to choose
Finger puppets suit the youngest hands and work well for singing and counting rhymes. Hand puppets from around three give real movement in the mouth and arms, which children find far more expressive. A set of three or four characters is enough for a story with a conflict, which is where the fun starts.
