Brown People Ballerina Full-Body Hand Puppet

This "Brown People" occupational hand puppet is a ballerina - a perfect pretend pal for that little dancer in your life. She has a working mouth and (removable) wooden hand-rod. She has blue eyes. One of our more creative Latina parents wrote in that she purchased a nontoxic acrylic paint and painted them to match her daughter's eyes.

These plush, velour, wide-mouth characters are from our friends at Melissa & Doug. Fun to play with and assured to inspire the imagination of kids and parents alike. Children who play with puppets tend to be more articulate and creative. Puppet play helps children expand their vocabulary, use their imagination, and develop better hand/finger coordination. Parents can use puppets to teach children when to share "bad things" they may experience or witness. Quality construction.
