Description

Inspire creativity, communication, and confidence with this cuddly puppet and writing bundle designed to spark imagination through storytelling, drawing, and early writing. These friendly animal puppets invite children to explore emotions, sounds, and movement as they bring stories to life, while the chalk lapboard provides an engaging space for self-expression through art and words. Perfect for circle time, literacy centers, or home learning, this set encourages expressive play, fine-motor development, and language growth.

As children create voices and characters for each animal, they build language and literacy skills by expanding vocabulary and sequencing stories. After storytelling, children can use the chalk lapboard to draw their favorite scene or character, then practice writing words or simple sentences to describe what happens next. These interactive experiences nurture social-emotional learning, creativity, and confidence through open-ended play and expression.

• Builds language and literacy through storytelling, drawing, and writing

• Strengthens social-emotional skills through empathy, imagination, and expression

• Encourages fine-motor development through hand, finger, and writing movements

• Fosters cognitive growth through sequencing, creativity, and symbolic play

• Promotes confidence and communication through open-ended learning

Includes: Lion Puppet, Tiger Plush Puppet, Bunny Puppet, Alligator Plush Animal Puppet, Crayola Colored Chalk, and Individual Chalk Lapboard.
