About the Puppets:
“Children and adults use these furry creatures to practice or teach Giraffe (NVC) and to tame Jackals.”
(from CNVC Website)
The giraffe and the jackal are often used in NVC training or practice as symbols for two modes of communication. The giraffe represents life-serving communication when we are connected to ourselves and others. The jackal represents when we are communicating without that connection.
Any giraffe or jackal puppet can be used, of course, though are often hard to track down in regular stores.
Sets have been produced specifically for NVC purpose in several places and are available in different incarnations, including:
- Adult Giraffe/Jackal glove puppets (useful for simulating entire conversations)
- Adult Giraffe/Jackal ears (useful for demonstrating listening modes)
- Giraffe/Jackal finger puppets
- Baby Giraffe/Jackal toys

I would urgently like to acquire giraffe and jackal puppets and the ears – where can I purchase these
Sharon .. as far as I know the only place they are now available (after a long break in production) is in Germany at Empathikon (see top of the page for the link). The site is in German but I think it is possible to follow the order without speaking German and with the help of Google Translate.
Hi, Ian, there is a little UK flag on the page http://www.empathikon.de and most of the stuff has an english explanation. Warmly, Claudia
Super! Thank you Claudia
I am interested in buying giraffe and jackal ears. How would I go about doing so?
Can you please send me pictures information and costs of giraffe finger puppets please? Are they knitted and suitable for preschoolers
Cheers Diana
