About a dozen of the over 60 'Portland Puppets' puppets characters are also part of a special group of puppets uniquely suited for talking with kids called 'Hoagy's Heroes'.

Hoagy's Heroes don't talk to kids... kids talk with them! 🌟❤️

'Hoagy's Heroes' puppets encourage children to engage & interact with the puppets by asking questions and contributing to the conversation. 👋 Also 'Hoagy's Heroes' puppets love doing hospital cheer-up talks. 😊

See the List of Hoagy's Heroes Below! Click on Their Links to Go To Their Page and Watch Their Specialty Videos!

'Hoagy's Heroes' are uniquely suited for talking with kids because:

  • each 'Hoagy's Heroes' puppet has their own "child specific" "talk-specialty".

  • each 'Hoagy's Heroes' puppet can also just have a non-specific conversation with a child(ren).

  • each 'Hoagy's Heroes' puppet will consider special, (unassigned topics), conversation requests.

Parents and guardians can pick a puppet:

  1. then choose from that puppet's assigned topics...the topic(s) they want the puppet/puppeteer to discuss with their child(ren)

  2. or just let the puppet/puppeteer decide topics from their assigned specific topics to discuss with the child(ren).

  3. or request that the puppet/puppeteer discuss a topic(s) other than what the puppet is "assigned".

The following is a list of 'Hoagy's Heroes' puppets and their specific child enrichment purpose! 👋
