Certain whimsical kids like to get their hands into the act. Help them do it with a hand puppet (or a few) and a “stage” with which to put on dramas, slapstick, and musicals. Toy Box has a selection of beautifully crafted puppets, including dragons, animals, insects, and other interesting characters. Add a puppet theater, and young drama artists will have a real “stage” to play on. (Though piling up couch cushions to hide puppeteers has its charm).
