Benefits

Benefits of pretend play abound: promoting language, creative and social skills. Puppets like Hippo and Duck play an important role during pretend play. They help kids try out real life situations or imitate different kinds of dialogue, which help develop their vocabulary and linguistic skills. They help kids see things or people from another perspective. They also can help kids explore their own feelings. (Hippo felt bad when duck didn’t speak to him. If you were Hippo, how would you let your friend know how you felt?) Through dramatic play, children explore new surroundings or try out roles. By taking part in these creative activities, they are stimulated intellectually.

Made Of / Made In
