Beyond Puppets

I have a shelf full of puppets and stuffed animals.

I recently was searching Barnes and Nobles, and noticed they have several Character Plush dolls and animals.

Most are under 12.95!

I often take a few with me down the halls or into the classrooms. I call them my friends, and students quickly want to meet them. I tie them into my guidance lessons or allow students to hold one while they are sharing.

They help students want to talk in group settings.

B&N has several, like Junie B. Jones, that older elementary students would love.

Check them out!

How would I -or- should I say, How Will I use this in my counseling?

I am planning on storing this in a tray

allowing students to use it the same way they would sand therapy.
