Suited to children aged three and up, through the Pre-K and early primary years.

Why it lasts.

Children who know the book by heart get to tell it themselves, voice by voice, and the retelling is where the language grows.

Who it's for

For the parent
A warm way to share a favorite bedtime story, with soft puppets that small hands can hold and bring to life again and again.
For the educator
Strong for early language, sequencing a familiar narrative, and role play in the Pre-K to early-primary years.
For the gift-giver
An officially licensed, handmade set that arrives ready to delight a young fan of The Gruffalo.

Ways to play.

Retell the story with one puppet on each finger. Let children take turns being the Mouse. Stand the cast on a five-rod stand for the reading corner.

Great details

Details

Materials & construction

Each piece is needle-felted by hand in Nepal from 100% New Zealand wool, worked until it is dense and firm enough to hold its shape through years of play. The colors come from azo-free dyes, and the materials are certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Care & storage

Spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry. Do not machine wash or soak, since water can loosen the felt.

Wool naturally resists dirt, so most of the time a light brush and some fresh air is all it needs. Store it dry, away from direct sun.
