Melissa & Doug : Puppets & Marionettes

Switch up your kiddo’s playtime with puppets and marionettes. Puppets make for hours of endless fun and a world of creativity and imagination. Whether it’s hand puppets, string puppets or classic wooden marionettes, Target’s wide puppetry range has it all. Children will love to weave new stories and adventures with their favorite puppets and marionettes. Watch them get hands on with their toys as they control a string marionette and put up a show with their little puppets. Toys like these are a great way to help your little one learn and grow. The delicate art of using strings to control puppets (or marionettes) with their hands will improve motor skills as they have oodles of fun. Using finger puppets to come up with a story encourages imaginative storytelling, letting them unleash their creativity during playtime. Get them to plan their own puppet show, complete with tickets, a toy theatre and an audience! They can choose a diverse cast of dragons, elephants, frogs, cows, monkeys, parrots and just about anything they can think of. Pick from all kinds of puppets, be it paper dolls, a plush, a favorite character like Pooh or classic hand-carved marionettes.
