- H x W x D: 7 7/8 × 5 5/16 × 2 3/8 in. (20 × 13.5 × 6 cm)
- Caption
- Created for use by children’s counselors and therapists, this hand puppet is part of a set that depicts two five-person family units; one family is African American while the other is Caucasian. Being able to use puppets that reflect a child’s personal race and gender is important for this kind of therapy to be successful. It is also significant for children’s self-esteem and learning cues that the African American dolls show a complete nuclear family unit, wearing clothes that communicate middle class respectability.
- Description
- A daughter figure hand puppet by Childcraft. With her arms raised parallel to her chest, the daughter puppet wears a white-collared pink dress, has blonde hair, blue eyes, and pink lips. The bottom back of her dress shows the maker's mark: CHILDCRAFT / [copyright symbol] 1968, and her sand colored rubber interior has three finger holes.
