While chickens aren't necessarily considered "cuddly," this puppet has considerable charm and personality via its soft and fur-like texture. Nearly life-size, it can be manipulated with two hands (or three, with another puppeteer)--with one hand in the mouth/head area and one or two hands positioned in the wings. Each wing has five finger areas, giving the performer more expression choices. The two spindly legs, although not designed for actual support, offer additional visual appeal. Other meticulous details, such as the comb and tail feathers, distinguish this puppet. Children will be drawn to this novel toy, and they can have a blast while performing puppet shows for family and friends.
