Folkmanis Puppet Monkey

Folkmanis Puppet Monkey Review

Folkmanis Puppet Monkey Feature

• For Ages 3 and up

Make a little monkey business with this gorgeous puppet, whose thick, lush coat and tail are made of contrasting browns. The puppet's hands, feet, ears, and face are made of a dark beige fabric, and his nose is perched atop his oversize mouth, the inside of which is a darker brown. Large plastic button eyes finish off his expressive face. The puppeteer's hand is inserted through the bottom of the body, and fingers fit in the upper arms and mouth. Wonderfully detailed, this monkey puppet is 23 inches long and 8 inches wide. Surface washable with cold water. --Peggy Etra Keep an eye on the bananas-this Monkey is nimble- fingered! When you manipulate its arms, head and mouth, this velvety puppet will steal any scene...maybe even a snack.

Movable mouth and arms.
