Hope the Sockette was a big hit with our testers, who were instantly drawn to her cheerful expression, bold colours, and soft, tactile texture. Crafted from recycled materials and designed in partnership with The Brain Tumour Charity, Hope also prompted valuable discussions around sustainability and charity. Children found her lightweight, flexible design easy to use, and quickly began engaging in imaginative play and storytelling. The puppet encouraged children to explore real-life emotions and social scenarios in a safe and creative way, helping to build confidence and communication skills.
Even typically reserved children were observed opening up through play with Hope, using her to express feelings or perform short puppet shows for friends and carers. This kind of role-play supports important personal, social, and emotional development while boosting language and self-expression. With the added value of charitable giving and eco-conscious design, Hope is more than just a toy—she’s a powerful resource for purposeful, meaningful play.
