Young puppeteers could position this multicolored collared lizard puppet to mimic lying motionless on a rock, or engaging in scampering behavior, or depicting various other typical lizard actions. The exquisitely detailed design is pleasingly soft to the touch and visually enticing to all ages. Its multicolored body showcases colored bands around the neck, tiny sharp teeth, claws with five "fingers" and "toes," and many other authentic-looking features. The puppet's snug entry into the mouth/head area also has cavities for each of the forelegs, and an additional/optional choice is the extra pocket that allows a moveable tail.

Numerous age-appropriate web sites (such as http://collaredlizards.weebly.com/) can extend the puppet's use into the academic arena, thus compounding its value and fun.
