That flash of colour in the bush!
Elka make some of our most popular puppets ... all designed here in Melbourne. Parents buy these puppets to make bedtime stories more engaging. You don't need to be a pro ... just pop a puppet on your hand and watch the kid's eyes light up. Picture yourself with both a zebra and lion puppet ... you can see where this story ends!
The Zebra hand puppet has a hole size suitable for both adults and children. The size of the puppet also means that most people can use their thumb and pinky to animate the front legs. Put this all together, and your zebra can be hiding its face, wiping its nose, talking and waving its hoofs about.
Puppets make great gifts, and Elka puppets are particularly affordable. While more expensive puppets do have benefits, you can't predict which toy a child will bond with, and Elka puppets are terribly cute. Puppetry itself fosters creativity, communication, and empathy in children, making learning enjoyable while enhancing social and emotional skills through imaginative play.
