Ole's long red fur and friendly demeanor make him a favorite for puppet shows and pretend play while promoting language development. The Ole Orangutan Hand Puppet may measure (in inches) 16 L x 9 W x 9.5 H, but the play value of this hand puppet is immeasurable. Ages 3 & up

The Manhattan Wildlife Collection teaches kids about the unique characteristics of each animal in the collection through strict attention to detail and true-to-life appearance and instills an appreciation for the diverse creatures that inhabit their world.

Puppets, like dolls, can help children learn imitation and emotional expression and inspire them to role play. This Orangutan Hand Puppet also encourages children to develop hand skills as they make its mouth move. By discussing the puppets facial features or exploring the expression of different moods children can gain insight into their own, and others, emotional reactions.
