Golden touch puppets are made of high quality materials The mouths are made of rubber for both flexibility and durability. The hand rods have a rubber grip for easy manipulation. The bodies are made of a wide variety of fleece material. They are very expressive and fun to use.
The puppets come in a variety of styles:
1. size:
A child size puppet is recommended for children ages 3 - 8. It is a smaller size for easier manipulation by a child. This size puppet does not come with hand rods.
An adult sized puppet is recommended for ages 6 and up. It will fit any size hand.
2. Feathers:
A feather choice of 0 is only available in a child size. It is intended for small children who might have a tendency to "pluck" the puppet.
A puppet with 1 feather has the feather placed directly on top of the head.
A puppet with 2 feathers looks like it has ponytails
A puppet with 3 feathers resembles a mohawk style
3. Rods:
Hand rods are the wires used to manipulate the puppet's hands. For safety reasons, a child sized puppet does not come with hand rods. A puppet with one hand rod has the second hand stitched to the puppet in a natural pose. Two hand rods are more challenging to operate but can be more expressive.
