Description

The Rat Puppet is a playful and expressive therapy puppet for play therapy, child counselling and therapeutic storytelling. Its distinctive appearance can invite children into imaginative play and provide a character through which difficult feelings and experiences can be explored safely.

The rat can take on many different personalities — curious, mischievous, worried, brave, lonely, misunderstood or playful — depending on the child’s story. This makes it a flexible resource for exploring friendship, social relationships, belonging, feeling different, boundaries and emotional expression.

Through role-play and therapeutic storytelling, children can explore experiences such as making mistakes, dealing with consequences, repairing relationships, solving problems and finding their place within a group.

The Rat Puppet is an excellent addition to a play therapy room, child counselling practice, school counselling environment or therapeutic puppet collection.
