Folkmanis animal hand puppets are inspired by nature and literature.
These full-bodied hand puppets are richly detailed, perfect for storytelling, imaginative play,
educating on environmental issues, and helping shy children to express themselves.

Folkmanis puppets have won many awards from respected toy evaluators such as Oppenheim Toy Portfolio,
Dr. Toy, Parent's Choice, and Sesame Street Parents Magazine.

Folkmanis is an innovative and award-winning puppet manufacturer that began with a nursery school mom
in Watertown, MA. Judy Folkmanis began sewing puppets for her son's class in the late 1960's, and when
her husband completed his Ph.D. in 1976, he joined Judy at cutting out puppet patterns.
Over 25 years later, Folkmanis is proud to still be a family company, as well as the world's premier
manufacturer of plush puppets.
