CP Toys: Multi-Ethnic Career Puppets

*I was sent products below in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.* 

CP Toys is a branch of US Toy Company that offers a line of great toys for kids that inspire creativity and promote educational fun. CP Toys is a family run business that has been offering fun toys since the 1950’s! When you’re looking for fun ways to get your child’s imagination flowing, check out
their great products!

I’d like to introduce you to the newest members of our house:

CP Toys Multi Ethnic Career Puppets



Charlie has, what I’ve been told is, an amazing imagination. He loves to make up stories about everything and anything. He will continue playing out his stories for sometimes an hour, which is like a lifetime in toddlerland.

In the mornings, Charlie gets as much playtime in with Daddy as possible before he has to leave for work. Lately, it’s been with our new puppet friends. The puppets also fit my husband’s hand, which was a pleasant surprise!


I love anything that gets the creative juices going for my munchkin. Charlie has had the Firefighter save people from trees, the policeman has chased “bad guys”, and the construction CP Toys Multi Ethnic Career Puppetsworker has helped him build a house. The puppets make him think about all the things that each career person would do and then his little mind just takes off from there.

Another awesome thing about these puppets is that not only are they multi-cultural, they’re very open about career options for boys and girls. I think if our kids are exposed to women in stereotypical male careers, it could become the norm for them. I love that the firefighter is a female! Charlie shouldn’t immediately think that a firefighter is a fireMAN.

These puppets have been played with over and over since we received them. I know they will continue to be played with over the next few years. That’s the great part about puppets- they’re open ended toys. There’s no magic age that kids will “outgrow” them. They can be used for lessons or just play.

I know the pictures are a bit blurry, but if you’ve ever met a toddler, you get it. These puppets are not just putting on shows, they run and jump and they do it all at toddler speed.

Something I know we look for in our house, as I’m sure many of you do, is durability. These are really nice quality puppets and I can vouch for the fact that their surface is washable. I had to clean a little dried jello off the Police Officer and I was so happy it came off with just a wet washcloth.

  5. My son loves playing with puppets! I am glad to see they have different ethnic backgrounds represented, it's good to introduce kids to this early - so that way it's not something they think about as 'different'.

  25. Even though I am white. I think it is important for toys like these to be multi-cultural. Also I think they should have women police officers and make nurses!
