Folkmanis Offers Royal Puppets
T
he Wolf Pup Puppet, from Folkmanis, is more cuddly than fierce, and is fresh from the den with fluffy, soft brown and white fur. He features perky ears, blue eyes, and a movable muzzle. Not the lone wolf type, this gregarious little guy will prey on kids for lots of love. The Perched Eagle Puppet is regally perched and ready to swoop. This puppet is realistically rendered with keen, piercing eyes and plumage of dark brown with a white head and tail. The strong, hooked beak and powerful talons are featured in a gold-hued leatherette. The Standing Lop Rabbit Puppet is a 12-inch rabbit that features distinctive long ears and soft, creamy white and brown patterned fur. Kids can entertain their friends with the Grunting Pig Puppet. The 14-inch piggy features silky, soft pale pink plush with grey patches and a curly tail. He comes to life with a workable snout, mouth, and front trotters. Kids can squeeze his pot belly to make him grunt. The Airedale Terrier Puppet features the signature markings of the breed: wiry looking, yet soft fur with a black saddle and a tan head, ears, and legs. The terrier also has a black nose and dark, soulful eyes. Kids can cradle this cuddly canine in their arms to work his mouth while their other hand wiggles his playful tail. The dashing Royal Prince Character Puppet is dressed in a noble crown and a scarlet robe bearing the royal Folkmanis crest. His movable mouth and arms command kids to play along with him. The Royal Princess Character Puppet is graceful in her tiara and formal gown. Her blue eyes feature a twinkle, and her movable mouth and arms allow for hours of playtime fun.
