When parents shop for furniture for a child's room, they are often looking to decorate the entire room, and toys are an important part of that package. Decorating a furniture display with toys and other accessories lets parents see how the whole finished room will look. As a display accessory and a versatile developmental toy, it makes good sense to stock puppets if your store's focus is children. Why puppets have such high play value Play value refers to the number of ways a toy can be played with as well as the length of the appropriate age range for that toy. Puppets have higher play value than regular plush because besides being cuddly friends, they can be animated, used in performances and in conjunction with storytelling, and encourage interactive play.
Puppets also appeal to many age ranges and even make great heirloom toys.
Babies love a small doll or soft animal friend that moves gently with the motion of Mommy's hand, that can be hugged and loved more than a live pet, and will hug them back. Toddler's imaginations soar when their story time friends come to life. When children grow old enough to manipulate the puppets themselves, puppets can help develop manual dexterity. For some, the appeal of a puppet lasts well into adulthood. Puppets come in many varieties and sizes.
