Guest Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 i'd get a boy/girl puppet - earlystart.co.uk has some good ones. muppet mouth i think they're called. good for /circle time etc. and i would get a cute animal hand puppet or two. e.g. squirrel. they are great for phonics/numeracy teaching to bring the learning alive a bit! the children love to play with them afterwards x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Don't know if this would work for you but our schools library service has some puppets. If you have access to somewhere like that you could try a couple of different ones. I inherited a Grandad puppet. He's renowned for having naps at the wrong time so the children have to explain what we've been learning. Once he was a bit worried about a letter from the doctor saying he needed to eat a more balanced diet and he didn't know what that meant so the children designed him some balanced lunch boxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_79 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Look at puppets by post too although I think the prices quoted on the early start website are going to be difficult to beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
