Old Mac Donald Finger Puppet Animals

These beautifully made finger puppets are designed to perfectly complement the classic "Old Macdonald" rhyme, bringing the beloved nursery song to life through hands-on, interactive play. Each animal puppet is carefully crafted to match the charming Pam Adams illustrations found in the popular Old Macdonald Had a Farm picture book, allowing children to act out the song as they read or sing along. This tactile storytelling experience supports young learners' language development, listening skills, and memory recall while also encouraging imaginative play. The set includes a selection of iconic farm animals-each detailed and soft to touch-ideal for small hands. These puppets promote engagement in group storytelling and offer an excellent way to introduce rhythm, rhyme and early narrative structure. Whether used at home or in early childhood settings, they foster meaningful interaction and help children make connections between spoken and visual language. Ideal for paired reading, performance activities or puppet shows, these puppets are a versatile and enriching resource that transforms a traditional rhyme into a lively and educational experience.
