Description
When we saw this Possum Puppet we feel in love! So soft and so life like! Young and Old will get so much enjoyment out of this one...
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".
This enchanting Possum full-body hand puppet is from the Australian Native collection and has been carefully hand crafted in partnership with wildlife experts and brought to life with meticulous attention to detail. The Possum’s luxuriously soft faux fur has been beautifully hand trimmed to highlight her sparkling eyes and adorable pink nose.
A wide mix of high-quality fabrics have been seamlessly blended to perfectly capture each of the possum’s iconic features. The possum’s trademark pointy ears have been highlighted with textured fabrics and fine airbrushing and the Possum’s gorgeous little paws have been brilliantly recreated with a blend of rich chocolate and white airbrush shading. Simply pop your hand inside the beautifully lined fabric, wrap her tail around your arm and watch as she comes to life as the perfect gift for family and friends or even yourself!
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.
My kids absolutely love these hand puppets, we have individual characters developed for each one now and my kids even take on the Puppets persona when playing with them. Well made and super soft.
