The Articulated Bear

This is a make-yourself bear puppet kit. It comes beautifully printed onto two pieces of robust (285gsm) cardstock. It is protected in a cellophane sleeve and backing board with simple instructions and presented with attractive labelling - making it an ideal gift.

Children love cutting the pieces out and bringing this character to life - there are all kinds of possibilities for play : shadow puppetry, articulating the characters with sticks, making and animating films - and then, when the child moves onto something else, the puppet can be used to adorn the home.
