Product Description

Cute only begins to describe this adorable Horse with Fly soft hand puppet by Furnis. Puppet designer Joanna Jannas designs her puppets with great attention to detail. She adds an adorable fly to keep the horse company during endless pretend play and storytelling. Imagine the adventures they’ll have together with your child.

Benefits

Benefits of pretend play abound: promoting language, creative and social skills. Puppets like Horse and Fly 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. 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

Horse & Fly Soft Hand Puppet by Furnis is expertly made in Sri Lanka using Oeko-Tex certified cotton/poly terrycloth and dyes. Products bearing the Oeko-Tex certification have met the Oeko-Tex uniform, scientifically founded evaluation standard for the human ecological safety of textiles. Gaining this certification is important in an effort to address the globalized and extremely fragmented nature of the textile manufacturing chain.

Manufacturer / Safety Compliance

Furnis Spielwelt is based in Vienna, Austria. It designs high-quality open-ended toys that encourage imagination as well as involvement between and among parents and children. Furnis takes special pride in developing natural toys that are safe for kids and our world. It meets or exceeds ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and EN 71 (European Standards), as well as the Oeko Tex standards of textiles.

*****

I grew up watching the Muppets Show. I LOVED that show. The characters were hysterically memorable. I didn’t know it then, but I learned a lot about humanity through all that silliness. A strong woman (er… pig) can have a very soft side and fall for an unlikely love object. Kermit will tell you, "It's not easy being green." Grumpy old men (Statler and Waldorf), despite their constant complaining, come back to have the best seats in the house to watch the show night after night. Many of us have met Statlers of the world. We may have even been them at some point in our life. Puppets are magical that way. They can be anything to prove a point or to prove no point at all.

Most of us will not aspire to be master puppeteer Jim Henson. What you can be, however, is the best one your children will ever have. Equipped with the right puppets and a willingness to let go, you can create pretend magic with your own live audience seated in the best seats in the house. It’s a great way to create memories with children, while teaching them important lessons (or not).

What I like about the Furnis puppets is that they allow for expressive pretend play. Horse with Fly, for example, fits comfortably in your hand and uses all four fingers and thumb. You can really make the puppet come alive. Coupled with the Fly, stories come even easier. Fly is never far behind (literally). It is always along for the ride. It’s a great and reliable side kick. It’s really a lot of pun.

You’ll be amazed how children will pick up on what you do and will want to take over the show. Soon, they’ll have stories of their own. This is a good sign that their creative juices are flowing and that they are learning from you. Then, you’ll have the best seat you’ll ever want anywhere.

Highly recommended.
