This Baby Raccoon Hand Puppet from Folkmanis would rather snuggle in your arms than steal food. Amazingly lifelike, it takes just a bit of encouragement to bring out its natural curiosity. Ideal for use in interactive stage and puppet theater, Folkmanis Puppets are also great for teaching, daycare, school, pretend play, games and parties, or to pair with a book for storytelling. Easy to feed and care for, just add lots of love and snuggly fun. This puppet measures 10 x 5 x 4 inches (LxWxH). Folkmanis has been encouraging young imaginations to blossom since 1976 with its innovative and engaging specialty puppets, promoting creativity and discovery while winning nearly every industry, child development, and kid-tested award.

Is there anything cuter than a baby raccoon? Sure, sure, they grow up to terrorize cats and knock over trashcans, but as babies--or puppets, as the case may be--they're irresistible. This adorable little 15-inch masked fellow, with striped tail and glittery yet somehow soulful eyes, will be the limelight-thief of any puppet show. A deft puppeteer can make him cover his eyes coyly, throw out his arms in joy, or "wash" his dinner of corn on the cob and beetles (sorry, dinner not included!). The accompanying tag gives all sorts of compelling information about the clever, dexterous, and sometimes naughty beast. The real thing is an excellent swimmer, but this luxuriantly plush one asks to be surface washed only. --Emilie Coulter
