Folkmanis Armadillo Puppet

This Armadillo may have armor, but he's soft on you! Animate all four legs as well as the head and he'll walk all over you! Or if he's feeling shy, roll him into his shell that fastens with hook and loop fabric. Either way, you'll have a ball with this puppet!

Movable mouth. Rolls into ball, fastens with velcro.

What an awesome animal the armadillo is. It comes in a range of sizes and species, from the tiny Fairy to the 130-pound Giant. It has few teeth, so it grabs dinner with a sticky tongue. And it has a suit of armor to protect itself when it needs to escape from the world for a while (or from a determined predator). This particular armadillo is cuddlier than most and can be quite friendly when you get a hand in there and move him around. One of a family of wonderful hand puppets from Folkmanis, this small gray creature will instantly win you over with his lovable armadillo face and that funny habit of curling up into a ball (the Velcro fasteners allow him to stay like that as long as he wants to). And Folkmanis throws in a special treat--a folktale from Guiana about armadillos makes even the label fun. --Rachel Radway
