Description
This soft Poodle Hand Puppet is so cute!
Hansa is renowned the world over for it’s true to life recreations of the worlds most loved animals. Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique "personality".
When you hold these wonderfully "life-like" animals, you will see and feel HANSA's emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, air brushing and finishing. Since each animal is hand sewn, there will be slight variations in appearance.
Please note: Hansa Puppets are floppy and do not stand on their own as shown in some of the official product photos. While this puppet has moveable arms and head, the mouth does not open and close.
Great quality. Easy to flattern out, without getting creases and easy to install.
It was a perfect fit for where we wanted to put it, which was on the back of the outdoor fold down table on our new caravan.
Love it, the product is authentic, the colours are cute and exactly like the image and the shipping was super fast. Not to mention, it’s all super affordable! I wish this had more colour options but otherwise I love it all!
