Let's face it, plush friends provide countless hours of comfort and companionship. Which is why they make the classic learning tool. At Thinkbutton we are always searching for ways to meld traditional learning with modern concepts. Like stuffed animals, puppet shows and puppets have been around for years. Puppets are similar to our plush pals but with the potential for much more expression and interaction. They are great to engage and reinforce messages to a young audience during story time, entertain and interact during puppet shows and become ambassadors for environmental, creative, and social causes. Therefore, we have expanded our puppet line to include a diverse selection of animals and characters in all shapes and sizes. We have also added a sleek, collapsible, tabletop puppet theater that is easy for young children to set up and stores in a flat, protective sleeve. Our puppet offering includes finger puppets that are small enough for tiny hands, stage puppets for more formal theater productions, and full-body puppets that are great for theater or snuggle time. The finger puppets enable small hands to act out stories and aid in reinforcing comprehension and imagination. Our stage puppets provide impressive details and ease of movement for optimum expression. The full-body puppets look like stuffed animals, but, with hand access and movable mouths and arms, they take having a plush friend to a whole new level.
Our latest additions include Webwilds that come with corresponding websites containing information and activities regarding conservation of the animal purchased. This option helps connect our plush pals with the struggle and reality of the real animals they represent; and, reminds us that it is up to us to ensure these animals have a future on Planet Earth. As a matter of fact, all the animals in our collection represent actual creatures found in nature. With so much beauty and diversity within our own animal kingdom, we find no reason to introduce fantasy creatures. All the puppets we offer add a unique quality and drama to formal and informal theater, as well as, the simple pleasure they bring during quiet, comforting moments. So, whether your puppet play includes snuggle time or elaborate productions, you will find that all of the puppets we offer make great addition to any place children gather to learn and play.
