Snakey
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Is it a plush toy? A puppet? A fastening toy? No, it's all of the above!
Snakey is a plush toy and puppet that consists of 7 detachable segments, with each segment joined by a different type fastener that is color-coded to assist children with match-em-up recognition. Snakey provides children with a creative way to learn how to manipulate buttons, snaps, clips, zippers, plastic buckles, and Velcro while the animated puppet head creates interactive and imaginative play, engaging children with the desire to not only interact with, but learn how to assemble and disassemble Snakey. Size: 5 feet long.

PLAY Tip
Talking about hearing impairment
Give more, not different.
If a child has a hearing impairment, we sometimes slip in to an exaggerated communications mode. We must resist! Speak normally, as exaggerated lip movements are difficult to read. Adult's should instead provide visual cues that accompanies normal speech, without distorting the message with uncommon motions.
