Finger Puppets Bring Stories To Life.

 

I have been looking for a way (other than photos) to teach my 2 autistic children about families and who all can be in a family. I purchased this set of finger puppets with the hope that my children would understand. I am quite impressed with the detailing and each puppet fits on both my fingers and my children's with the help of the built-in elastic band. There is a grandmother, grandfather, mom, dad, sister and brother each with clothing and hair that fits each puppet (sister has pig tails and a bright dress while grandmother has grey hair in a bun). The puppets are very lightweight and flexible allowing children a chance to feel and look at the puppets without breaking them. So far my children have enjoyed these puppets and I have gone as far as giving each family member the puppet that pertain to them (grandmother puppet to grandmother) so that when they speak to them the children can relate the puppet to the person. Great for storytelling and role playing as well.

I was offered this product (which can be found here) at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest opinion.
