What's new at FOLKMANIS-PUPPETS?

The FOLKMANIS design team has remained true to its line since 1976 and is once again launching a whole series of plush hand puppets on the market. New materials always have an inspiring effect and the result is something to be seen and played with. These models also look extremely lifelike in play with realistic movements. Suitable for children's and adults' hands because of the elaborately designed interior of the hand puppets.

A friendly dragon cub walks in. With its little belly, stubby wings and thick snout, it is somewhat reminiscent of the famous Augsburg marionette. 

With its oversized beak, a shoebill looks somewhat awkward and gangly. As soon as it opens its beak and moves its head slightly, it becomes very funny - you just have to like it.

The black crow symbolizes wisdom and change, here it comes with a very realistically designed plumage similar to plush, here in addition to the head, the beak and the wings are playable.

The garter snake impresses with its striking coloring and feels velvety soft. The head is playable and the small pocket at the end of the tail means that the player's second hand can also move this part of the snake very realistically.

Typical for the US manufacturer are also very unusual motifs such as the new armadillo, a black axolotl, a desert rain frog and a leopard cub.

The finger puppets can always be moved with just one finger and are particularly suitable for collecting and on the go. They fit in every trouser pocket or school bag.

New additions: A mini bat, a cheeky mini dragon, mini dragonfly and kingfisher.
