Finger Puppet Theatre and Finger Puppets

Beautiful small theatre with lovely bright colours and real ‘stage curtains’

Lots of beautiful finger puppets are available including pirates, animals, princesses and knights!

A reasonable price for a small theatre that offers so much play value. It was played with constantly by our testers, who were in a rehabilitation centre, family homes and a stay and play centre.

The puppets are amazing – so well made with lots of detail and there are so many to choose from.

The skills developed are imaginative play, independent play, social play – turn taking and speaking and acting in front of others.

Plus points – Value for money – sustained appeal, very well made – amazing choice of puppets available – puppets fit all fingers well.

Comments – Both parents and family centres agreed they would definitely buy this toy as it is constantly played with!

Amy – 6 years “I love being a princess in the play”
Jade – 7 years “There are so many puppets to choose from, I don’t know what to play with first”
William – 7 years “The pirate is wicked”

Parents also agreed that they would buy the puppets as the children’s preferences for characters change/develop

Main Features: 
This vibrant, table-top finger-puppet theatre is a fantastic addition to any playroom and is attractive to both parents and children -no mean feat! The brightly painted wooden pieces can be quickly slotted together with no need for a screwdriver or glue, and can be easily folded away for storage and transport. Once you've set the stage and drawn the satin curtain, choose from a huge variety of detailed fabric finger puppets with painted wooden heads. These must be bought separately, but with characters ranging from Little Red Riding Hood to space-age aliens, you can build up a whole cast suitable for your children. 

Beneflts:

Alex and Courtney, both seven, enjoyed putting on shows and one parent pointed out that it would be a great way of engaging the whole family within group-play. The set promotes interaction with other children and adults, and given the length of time our testers spent on the activity, felt it provided good value for money.
