I am a big fan of the no frills, no bells and whistles toys. I love toys that foster creativity as opposed to toys that have the child turn off their brain while it does everything for them (not to say we don't have some of those toys but I prefer the other better). These adorable finger puppets are a great resource to encourage imagination.
The finger puppets we received included an owl, snake, cat, dog, and pig. They are adorable and soft. I allowed Josiah and Liam to play with them on a recent long car ride (not the one we most recently took...although they all enjoyed playing with them then). Liam was able to entertain Josiah with funny voices stories and lots of giggles as he put the puppets on each finger. They are made of a high quality yarn that is durable enough to withstand my boys outrageous tales of animal adventures.
These puppets are great for imaginative stories of the children or to act out stories based on a book. Five Star publishes several books that would work well the puppets including, "True Stories about Saving Animals by Sam Lopez and Rattlesnake Rules by Conrad Storad.
