Did you know that the peregrine falcon can fly over 200 mph when it dives for prey? Or that they can travel up to 15,500 miles in a year? Children can have great fun with pretend flights using this almost life-sized puppet in imaginative play that could later segue into more serious science explorations with books such as Caroline Arnold's, Saving the Peregrine Falcon (which offers interesting information about this unique bird).

This puppet's authentic-looking feathery fur and leathery claws add credence to this elegant and lush toy. Its design allows two hands to flap the wings (via the three finger insertions on each wing's underside), or one hand can manipulate the body/head/beak while the other is either resting or is inside one wing. Young learners will discover numerous additional uses for this captivating and handsome educational tool.
