Folkmanis Hamster 7in Hand Puppet
Here's another wonderful creation from Folkmanis, the masters of animal puppetry. If your kids are begging for hamsters at home, this endearing ball of fuzz is a great alternative to the real thing.  Measuring 6 inches from the tip of his ears to his rump, he's just a bit bigger than a real hamster, but just as cute. He's just the right size for taking along in the car for impromptu puppet shows.  Don't miss his tag: it's  complete with interesting facts and a "Hamster's Tail," a fable about how these furry little friends came to be.--Melissa Wilson
