MSRP: $44 Age: 3 and up Category: Puppets Watch Video NowToyDirectory Product ID#: 6001 Folkmanis’ low-tech puppet innovation adds a new dimension to puppetry in 2006 with the introduction of the pull-ring animator, a patent-pending device inserted into puppets that gives them a more realistic appearance with a very simple finger movement.

Designed with realistic touches, ultra-soft micro-fiber fabric, and a movable mouth this iParenting Media Award-winning elephant is super-soft and super-squeezable. 12/15/2005 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] |
