I think just about everyone has played with a puppet at some point in their life. Puppets are a simple but engaging toys that are great for kids of all ages. They encourage interactive and imaginative play and can be a great way to learn animal names, animal noises and colors. Here are a few different types of puppets that I thought I would share.
Gund is known for its quality stuffed animals, but they also make these adorable Let’s Play! baby animal puppets. Each puppet comes with a smaller baby puppet, but each type of animal is sold separately. Great for parents and kids to play with together!
