Folkmanis Handpuppets
For over 30 years Folkmanis have been making engaging and award winning puppets. Having watched my own children play with puppets for some years now I believe a good puppet is an essential for every child to develop imagination, to build conversation skills and even in healing work. Puppets are often used in therapy with children - a child can tell a puppet problems and fears that it may not be able to verbalise with an adult directly. Read more about puppets in our "Articles" section.
Folkmanis Puppets encourage love of the natural world and environmental conservation. Products are not individually packaged and the company recycles. The company headquarters is installing solar panels to reduce the corporate carbon footprint. Folkmanis donates puppets around the world, to be distributed among refugees, orphans and social workers. |

| Folkmanis Great Horned Owl Puppet |
| What a neat toy! This Great Horned Owl has a stick inside it so you can turn its head and a lever on the stick so you can make it blink its eyes! This puppet can either make a great companion to any child as a toy, or an excellent learning tool for a teacher. Its almost life-like size and looks make this puppet a great choice. It has large wings and yellow eyes. Its beak is a hard, black plastic and claws are made of a leather-like material. The "feathers" are black, brown, and cream in colour. The puppet comes with a card that includes "Facts of Interest on Great Horned Owls and a story called, "Owl Eyes." |

| Folkmanis Snowy Owl Puppet |
| The snowy owl's camouflage of white feathers with black spots hides it perfectly in its northern habitats in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, Siberia and Scandinavia. This Folkmanis plush puppet sits poised as if ready to swoop down on an unsuspecting lemming, but you can animate his wings to make him cruise the skies or turn his head 360° for an unobstructed view. Loved by Harry Potter fans too! |
