We have said it many times that children like toys that can help them to use their imagination. Children like to tell stories through their play and this is a very important aspect to child’s play. Helping children to use their imagination is a fantastic way to help with their development of creativity – something that will help them in later years. There are so many toys available that it is sometimes difficult to choose the right one – but here we focus on a fantastic wooden toy that will endure and will help to develop that very important creative imagination.
The wooden finger puppet theatre is a superb way to bring all the aspect of play together. Finger puppets have been around for generations – and right there is the evidence that they are brilliant for encouraging child’s play. The Finger puppet theatre is a beautiful example of craftsmanship and includes five finger puppets for your child to create simple stories or more elaborate tales. Included are a king, queen, prince, princess and maid, all beautiful presented in colourful clothes ready for an adventure. The theatre is a fold away design complete with curtains to add to the anticipation of the show beginning.
Best placed on a table top – to keep the identity of the puppeteer hidden, the theatre setting will bring out that imagination. Once the curtains open the tale told can transform children into great story tellers. It can also be a great way for parents and grandparents to pick up on things happening in a child’s life. The finger puppet theatre is a great wooden toy that will inspire children and will make for a lot of fun. It stores away easily and even the little figures are simply stored in the wood base. The finger puppet theatre can also encourage children to make their own puppets that can have a starring role in the stories they tell. Remember ‘dolly pegs’ they are a great way for children to make finger puppets – and can be dressed in any number of outfits. The finger puppet theatre is a great way for parents to be involved too – try putting on a show to help children understand complex issues of right and wrong, manners or any number of things that little ones need to learn as they develop. By teaching through puppetry it will help children to remember important aspects of their development.
