Folkmanis

Sea Serpent | |
 |
Shark | |
|
Ages - all ages, but particularly 3+ |

- Favorite Features -
- large enough for adults to use comfortably
- shark can "eat" objects with an opening in the back of it's mouth - fun and scary!
- excellent design and choice of fabrics
- each puppet includes a short skit
- encourages imagination, creativity, open-ended play and fun
This ever increasing line of stage puppets is certainly second to none! Folkmanis once again shows their commitment to quality and creativity with each puppet in this line. The Sea Serpent is a bright, shiny blue - exactly as a sea serpent should look - and the shark with it's teeth and "ability" to "eat" is exactly as a shark puppet should be - fascinating and slightly scary! Extremely well done!

My family once had a Sheltie - this puppet looks just like that dog did! Obvious attention to detail, design and quality insure this will be a classic, and well loved addition to the Folkmanis puppet line! This puppet, like so many from Folkmanis, can easily double as a plush friend. It is a true "bonus" that in addition it is also a puppet! Tremendously well done!
