This handpuppet was made to fit the hand of a child or adult, and you can also move its head. The legs and the receptors on the head are made of chenille wire. I recommend it to children who are at least 3 years old.

Size (including the hat): 30 cm (11.8 inches)

Instructions for use:

Insert your entire hand into the puppet, all the way up to its head. This is how the puppet can nod its head.

Here is a tale:

Once upon a time, there was a grasshopper puppet named Victor. Victor was a very special grasshopper because he loved playing the violin. He would practice every day, hopping around and playing beautiful music on his tiny violin.

One day, Victor decided to go on an adventure. He packed up his violin and set out to explore the world. As he hopped along, he played his violin and made new friends wherever he went.

He met a friendly butterfly who loved to dance to his music. He played a serenade for a family of ants and they danced around in a circle. He even played a special song for a snail, who was feeling sad and lonely.

As Victor traveled, he realized that music had the power to bring joy and happiness to everyone he met. So he decided to put on a concert for all of his new friends.

He invited everyone he had met on his journey, and they all came together to hear him play. The butterfly danced, the ants clapped their tiny hands, and the snail smiled and swayed to the music.

After the concert, Victor realized that he had found his true purpose in life: to share his love of music with the world. So he continued to travel and play his violin, bringing joy and happiness wherever he went.

And from that day on, whenever Victor played his violin, all of his friends knew that the sweet sound of his music was sure to follow.
