Hansa Puppet Set with Stand - 18pcs

Hansa Hand Puppets are a powerful resource for early childhood educators, helping to foster communication, creativity, and emotional expression within the learning environment. Puppets invite children to engage in meaningful conversations, giving them a voice in a way that feels safe, playful, and non-threatening.

By interacting through a puppet, educators can shift the traditional teacher-child dynamic - becoming more approachable and encouraging open dialogue. Children often feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions when speaking “to” the puppet, promoting confidence, social connection, and language development.

Puppet play also supports strong relationships and playful interactions between children and educators, allowing teachers to gain valuable insights into each child’s personality, strengths, and interests.

Each Hansa Hand Puppet is a beautifully crafted work of art. Skilled artists create every piece by hand in socially and environmentally responsible studios, using detailed portraits of animals in their natural habitats as reference. The result is a realistic, high-quality puppet with its own unique character and charm - perfect for storytelling, group time, and dramatic play.

The set includes a solid timber puppet stand that has the capacity to hold 25 puppets. The stand measures 95cm high and is easily accessible to young children.

17 Hansa puppets are included, featuring a mix of Australian native animals, woodland animals, and wild animals. The mix of puppets will depend on availability at the time of purchase.
