Folkmanis African Wildlife Playset with 4 Finger Puppets

Finger puppets make a perfect stocking stuffer for Christmas.  Pick from cute mice to fierce red dragons to give joy and excitement this holiday.

Folkmanis is in the process of adding two new manufacturers.  This has caused some of the new releases to be delayed into mid December and quite a few puppets are out of stock until late November to early next year. 

Shop early for the best selection and best prices.  Get an extra 10 Percent off all Puppets until November 21. Use 10percentoff as the coupon when you check out.

New Scorpion Book and Scorpion Puppet

We just found a great book to go with our new Folkmanis scorpion puppet that came in this week. Scorpion book for kids by Anita Ganeri is a softcover book with color illustrations that will be great for the 5 or 6 year old boy (or girl) that loves creepy crawly things.  The book has lots of information about the day and night life of the scorpion that lives in deserts.
