Full Body Orchid Mantis Puppet by Folkmanis Puppets

The trouble with insects is that they’re usually too small to really get to know and studying them at close quarters can be difficult; the Full Body Orchid Mantis Puppet by Folkmanis Puppets, on the other hand, means you can do just that. At around 18 inches, this plush mantis orchid puppet is simply stunning and so true to life that people will give her second or even third looks and wonder where this gigantic insect has sprung from. In the pretty colors of the exotic flower, the Full Body Orchid Mantis Puppet by Folkmanis Puppets is white with various shades of pink expertly blended in, while her legs are shaped like the delicate little petals. Created using a smooth, soft plush fabric, this stuffed mantis orchid puppet has six long legs; four for walking and the front two – with their spiky spines – to grab hold of their unsuspecting prey (or, in this case, to give cuddles and lots of them). Fitted with an opening at the rear, the Full Body Orchid Mantis Puppet by Folkmanis Puppets comes to life when being operated by her human and will make an outstanding addition to story time as well as being an invaluable teaching tool so kids can learn all about this unusual insect in a fun, interactive way.
