Jolly Phonics Puppets - Set 3

Bring literacy learning to life with this delightful set of plush, soft, full-size hand puppets featuring the beloved characters from the Jolly Phonics programme-Inky Mouse, Snake, and Bee. These engaging puppets are designed to support early literacy education by making phonics instruction more interactive and enjoyable. Inky Mouse takes the lead as the character who guides her friends through reading and writing, encouraging children to explore sounds with confidence. Snake is a quick learner with a playful personality and boundless curiosity, making him a favourite among young learners. Bee represents the perseverance needed in literacy development-though she finds reading difficult, she never gives up. These puppets are ideal for bringing storytelling, role-play, and phonics instruction to life in both classroom and home learning environments. Children are naturally drawn to imaginative play, and these characters offer a tactile and visual way to reinforce phonics sounds and their corresponding actions. Whether used in group sessions, one-on-one learning, or during phonics-themed performances, these puppets inspire creativity and promote meaningful engagement with foundational literacy skills. Suitable for children aged 4 years and older. For additional support with using Jolly Phonics in your teaching practice, training is available via the official website: Jolly Phonics Training Australia.
