Adults are also deeply affected by their gravitational pull when playing with or using them. The property of play is the primary element involved in the hand puppet's power. But there is more. The pet-like appearance, the ‘little' voice and expressive movement signals safety, disarms, and elicits humor, expressiveness and articulation.
