Feelings Family Hand Puppets

The Feelings Family Hand Puppets are a delightful and engaging way to support children's emotional development through imaginative and sensory-rich play. This set of five expressive puppets helps children explore and understand a wide range of emotions, including scared, angry, happy, sad, and surprised. Whether used in guided learning activities or child-led storytelling, these puppets are ideal for supporting social-emotional learning in early childhood settings.

Each puppet features a soft texture and built-in crinkle sounds, adding a sensory dimension that enhances engagement and supports tactile exploration. The puppets encourage emotional expression, language development, empathy, and connection - making them a valuable resource for educators, therapists, and caregivers alike.
