Plush Baby Dragon Puppet 11"

Sitting on his rump, tail curled and reaching for Mom, he may look harmless, but watch out! This Baby Dragon is a fierce creature in training. Animate his arms and mouth and he'll light fires in your heart.

Puppets nurture the imagination, inspire creativity, develop interactive play and expand language. This reviewer has found them to be excellent tools for teaching foreign languages--children will comfortably experiment when manipulating a puppet, but not when simply talking to a friend. As children mature, they are able to use puppets in a more sophisticated manner that will help them last a good long time.

Baby Dragon is beautifully made with a combination of fleece, fur, satin, and felt. With a forest green body, cream belly, pink mouth, red tongue, and green wings and ridges, he is not the most ferocious dragon we've ever come across, but that's not a bad thing. His stiff, curly tail allows him to sit up in a very cute position. His standard hand-in-the-mouth operation means that a 3-year-old hand can "make him talk" as well as an adult hand, so Baby Dragon will work for all ages. --Sandy Hirsch
