Bring Storytime to Life with Safari Buddies
The Melissa & Doug Safari Buddies Hand Puppets set invites kids and grown-ups to step into playful scenes with six soft, plush friends: elephant, tiger, parrot, giraffe, monkey, and zebra. Each puppet is designed for comfortable hand-fit and easy care, so storytelling can be a shared event rather than a solo routine. The fabrics are bright, the textures inviting, and the overall design supports hours of screen-free, imaginative play that can adapt to many moods and settings.
