Handpop for in class

Hand puppets are amazing! For home, on the way, maybe in the hospital ... but definitely in the classroom! A handshop for the class has lots of advantages and is very fun! Why? We would like to let you know that.

Why use a handgun in the classroom?

Handpop Living PuppetsChildren do not always dare to tell what's wrong or where they are sitting. Sometimes they are just shy . handpop can be a great help. A handpop is neutral, always listening and never interrupting. However, you can give your hands on your hand by moving your hands and opening the mouth. And sometimes the handpop says something back. Children speak more easily to a doll than to an adult. Handpuppes are also used in emergency care such as at the emergency department in a hospital or in a police car.
You can also portray different situations. Useful to handle certain trauma. Perhaps a child from your class was involved in an accident or the children caused a death or serious illness. Then let the children do their story together with the doll.

How can I use a handshake in class?

You can use the doll in the morning ritual and thus trigger "discussions" or conversations . Thus, certain feelings of the children can come up, making it easier for a child who is not feeling well at the moment. 
You can also use the handpop to prepare certain things. For example, do you go to a sick visit with some children or go to a museum where they have to behave, then the doll can be a tool to give a good example. 
To learn certain skills like dressing, most hand puppets are also very useful. 
You can also use the doll in a fun way to play scenes and learn songs!

What do I notice when purchasing a handshop for the class?

For a handshop in the classroom, take the best size (65 cm) . This is not only good for good visibility, but you can get it easier with your hands. Also take a doll with the clothes on and off, including the shoes! 
If you have a limited budget and only buy one doll, take a neutral doll. One for boys and girls can continue. If you take several dolls you can also take a good girl and boy. 
Do not take too terrifying pop . If you want a spooky doll (to overcome certain fears, for example), take a nice baby or a nice hug.
Tip: In Kiki 's webshop or store, we choose only for best-quality hand puppets. Choose for the brand " Living Puppets ", which are ideal for class.

Tips to use a handpop fun.

A handpop does not always have to be used therapeutically. It is also very fun to engage the doll when singing songs or playing a role-playing together with children. Perhaps it's nice to help the doll help clean up. Put him somewhere where he can play the supervisor and let him give compliments occasionally or a funny remark. Betting that the children forget that they are "working"? Time will fly by!

First orchard of Haba: tested!

I'm from a family of real gaming fans.  And then I do not mean 'games', but the  old school  companions  games  .  Cozy but fanatic with all around the board.  And now that I am a mother of a toddler and a toddler, I have discovered that there are also a lot of fun games for that age.  For example, we learned a little while ago about Haba's First Orchard.  A game by which my boys are now also infected with the game virus. Win together or lose together Eerste Boomgaard is the perfect game to announce your children with games.  The rules of the game are easy to understand and for a two-year-old child.  What I like so much is that you do not play against each other but with all of them.  There are four stuffed fruit trees to be picked empty before the raven reaches the orchard.  The fruit can be picked by throwing a dice.  Throw green, then you put an apple into the basket, with blue a plum and so on.  But if y...

Let's Play Out!

It has been a trend for some years, but children are less likely to play outside.  That's not a good news because playing outside is not only healthy and educational but also fun.  Let's all play together together! How often do children play outside?  And how does that happen? If we can believe British research (read well: British, which does not apply to Flanders and the Netherlands)  , children are on average less than prisoners.  For example, 26% of children in question would play out for less than half an hour a week.  That's really little.  This trend would be explained by various causes.  On the one hand, it appears that parents are more cautious and see more dangers in outdoor games, on the other hand, electronic toys such as tablets are an attractive alternative for children to simply stay in.  Some researchers also say that more school work leads to less outdoor games.  A lack of safe playgrounds or a quiet street does not ...
