Meet Chef Al Dente!
What’s cooking in Chef Al Dente’s kitchen? Children can invent delicious daily specials, welcome pretend restaurant guests, and bring their funniest culinary stories to life with this charming Italian chef puppet.
Chef Al Dente is dressed for the kitchen in a classic white chef’s coat, red neckerchief, floppy chef’s hat, and wonderfully expressive mustache. Children can place one hand inside the puppet to move his mouth and change his expressions. The removable wooden arm rod lets young puppeteers make Chef Al Dente wave, gesture, and enthusiastically explain what is on the menu.
Perfect for pretend restaurants, puppet shows, classroom storytelling, and imaginative kitchen play, this 15-inch puppet encourages children to communicate, create characters, and explore new ideas. Puppet play can also help support vocabulary, storytelling, hand coordination, confidence, and creative expression.
The detachable control rod may be placed on either side, making the puppet comfortable for both right-handed and left-handed children.
