Sofia, our 46cm high Girl Hand Puppet, lives in Rome Italy with her family, and loves her home, school, and friends. She wants to share her life with you. Learn about life in Rome Italy with Sofia.

Sofia is made from premium quality soft velour fabric. She has long straight medium brown hair, pale peach/pink skin, medium brown embroidered eyebrows and black embroidered eyelashes. Her carefully embroidered beautiful round blue engaging eyes look at you with love and kindness. She has cute fingers, toes, ears, nose and navel. She is made with excellent detail and is stuffed to look more like a soft toy, fabric stuffed doll, character or person. Her stuffing and design makes it easier for you to hold her and to manipulate her as a puppet. You will fall in love with Sofia from the moment you pick her up and play with her.

Fits a child's hand and up to an average size adult hand. Hand goes in from the back of her body into her head, mouth and arms. Her mouth opens and she has a tongue. Her head, body, arms and legs are stuffed to allow easy handling for play and to make the puppet more like a stuffed soft toy. Bring Sofia to life when you put your hand inside her and move her head, mouth and arms.

Join Sofia for some folk dancing, singing, music, food and have a party with her. Your friends will love Sofia! You can take all her clothes off to change her outfit.

She is wearing a beautiful Italian folk dress;

  • long sleeve white, red, green and black Italian folk dress. Her skirt is a lovely solid green and gathered at the waist. The top of the dress is like a blouse and white with a solid red band across the stomach and black strip at the front with a green string done in a criss-cross.
  • white socks.
  • black velvet shoes

Take her to school or feature her in a puppet show about Rome Italy. She will inspire you to share stories about life in Rome Italy with your friends and family.

Sofia loves to play and is a great listener. She can be a chatter box and will keep you company for hours becoming your best friend. Bring her to life and share many experiences with her.

She will inspire your imagination, allow you the freedom to be creative and to come out of your shell. If you’re shy, you can use Sofia and speak through her to articulate how you are feeling or to gain courage to play with other kids. You can use her to re-tell stories you heard or to create your own stories.

Research with early education specialists has highlighted and proven that Puppets as an educational toy for a child’s growing and developing mind and as a teacher’s or parent’s aid has many benefits;

  • By bringing their puppet to life as an independent personality, children will gain courage to speak in front of their classmates and to practise public speaking. Sofia will assist them to interact and socialise with other children and adults.
  • Through Sofia children will be able to articulate emotional stresses and feelings and resolve them. They can express themselves, gain confidence and become brave with a can-do attitude.
  • Children will use their puppet to role play and repeat various tasks that they find challenging improving their confidence and self-esteem.
  • The puppets will work fine and gross motor skill dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. Children need to put their hand inside the puppet to manipulate the arms, face, mouth and tongue. Sofia can be undressed to allow a change of clothes. Some puppet clothes have buttons, zippers and shoelaces. Practising tasks such as; doing up buttons or tying shoelaces will give them confidence and help them become independent.
  • Puppets inspire imaginative play, trigger creativity, tests memory, and develops language and reading skills. When children re-tell a story they heard, you will see what they remembered and get an insight into their use of language.
  • Children can perform a puppet show, which encourages organisational skills, script writing when they create their own story, language development and use of language when they perform the show, or they may express emotions or feeling that are bothering them through their performance.
