This remarkably detailed Fruit Bat Hand Puppet arrives with the kind of tactile authenticity that makes you look twice — a warm amber-brown furred body, small bright eyes, delicate pointed ears, and dramatically beautiful wings spanning a full 20 inches, their dusty slate membrane mottled with earthy gold in a way that manages to be genuinely stunning. The foxlike face carries the alert, curious expression of a creature who has been misunderstood for centuries and finds the whole situation rather puzzling. Slip a hand inside and those great wings come alive — swooping, hovering, coming in for an unexpectedly gentle landing on someone's shoulder. A perfect introduction to one of nature's most fascinating and underappreciated creatures, and a puppet theatrical enough to hold attention far beyond the first performance. For the child drawn to the unconventional corner of the natural world — and for the storyteller who knows the best characters are always the ones nobody expected to love. ----- Dimensions ----- Fruit Bat Hand Puppet measures 9.25" L x 20.5" W x 2" H -----Safety & Care------ Recommended for ages 3+- CHOKING HAZARD: Small parts, not suitable for children under 3 years old.- Spot clean as necessary Show more
