Gray Wolf Puppet
Spring 2011 ToysThe quality construction of this wolf puppet invites fun experiences relating to an animal that is generally avoided. The realistic teeth are made of plastic (for a more believable "visual growl") and are harmless during child play. The eyes are strikingly authentic, as is the puppet's entire general appearance. Easily manipulated by young children, its underbelly opening offers the option of positioning the puppet's lower body over the user's dominant arm; then with crossed arms, puppeteers can simultaneously wag the wolf's tail with the concealed thumb on their opposite hand. This toy can enhance the presentation of numerous children's stories, poems, songs, and raps having wolf characters. The accompanying product information offers two stories and several wolf facts.
