MrPuppets

In these days of high-tech, bells-and-whistles toys, sometimes it's nice to return to the basics. Take these puppets from MrPuppets. Absolutely charming! I love the simple forms and loveable personalities, and know my son would too. Puppets are great because, it's true, kids are fascinated by things that move. But unlike battery opperated items, the beauty of puppets is that you or your child makes these toys intereact and react, not some motor. They're simply wonderful for fostering creative play.

Each of MrPuppets quirky creations is hand-crafted from soft fleece and made for little or medium hands. (Though note: the eyes may not be safe for younger children.) Not distributed by any major chain, MrPuppets is a one-woman operation in Western, Ma, making them a truly unique gift. It also means there's a limited supply. So order now for the holidays. Afterwards, you can order a custom design, and put on a whole show.
