Crafted in deep charcoal velour with the mottled, weathered markings of the real thing, pale at the belly, shadowed across the back, fins swept just so. The Humpback is the kind of puppet that stops people in their tracks before anyone has even put their hand inside. It is, quite simply, one of the most beautifully realized animal puppets. Then you open the mouth. A sweep of golden baleen fringe lines the jaw, and inside: a warm terracotta that glows like something glimpsed far below the surface. The movable mouth gives this whale a voice, an expression, a whole personality — and whoever is operating it tends to forget, fairly quickly, that they're the one doing the talking. Built for the storyteller, the ocean lover, the child who already knows the difference between a humpback and a blue whale, and the adult who will absolutely be borrowing this for themselves. A remarkable gift for anyone whose imagination runs deep. ----- Dimensions ----- The Humpback Whale Hand Puppet measures 26" L x 17" W x 11" H -----Safety & Care------ Recommended for ages 3+- CHOKING HAZARD: Small parts, not suitable for children under 3 years old.- Spot clean as necessary
