What our OT say:

They are just the best for language development. 

• Storytelling and Imagination: Finger puppets encourage storytelling. Children can create their own narratives, invent characters, and explore different scenarios. This imaginative play helps build vocabulary and comprehension.
• Language Exposure: When using finger puppets, children often engage in conversations with themselves or others. They describe the puppets, their actions, and the pretend world they inhabit. This exposure to language enriches their vocabulary.
• Social Interaction: Finger puppets invite interaction. Children can role-play conversations, practice turn-taking, and express emotions through their puppets. These social interactions foster language skills and communication.
• Phonological Awareness: Finger puppets can be used for rhyming games, sound play, and word repetition. These activities enhance phonological awareness—the ability to recognise and manipulate sounds in words.
• Narrative Skills: As children create stories with finger puppets, they learn about story structure (beginning, middle, end), character development, and sequencing. These skills are essential for later reading comprehension.
• Expressive Language: Children express themselves through finger puppets, using gestures, facial expressions, and vocalisations. This expressive language practice strengthens communication abilities.
