An African Lion Puppet!
The Lil Friends Lion hand puppet has a hole size suitable for both adults and children. The size of the puppet also means that an adult's hand can utilize the thumb and pinky to animate its little arms. Put this all together, and your lion can rest on your arm and telling stories from the savannah.
All Lil Friends puppets are made with recycled plastic fill and feature a recycled paper tag.
You'll find lions is wild only in Africa ... but in Australia you can find them in zoos. This little puppet makes a wonderful buddy. Be brave, have a go ... don't let puppets intimidate you. Kids typically react very well to puppets, and we're happy to show you a few tricks.
Lil Friends puppets are so affordable they can be collected in sets for parents, educators and healthcare professionals. Puppetry itself fosters creativity, communication, and empathy in children, making learning enjoyable while enhancing social and emotional skills through imaginative play.
