Key Features

• Monarch Life Cycle Puppet: With this adorable Life Cycle Puppet, educators, puppeteers, and parents can now make play-based learning extra fun! This butterfly puppet flaunts a huggable deep orange and black-bordered plush, which can be reversed to showcase its other forms, such as its caterpillar and adult monarch. The figure is 12” long, 22” wide, and 4” tall, just the right size for puppeteering by hand.
• Work Wonders at Story Time: Breathe life into many scientific lessons, bedtime stories, books, and fairytales by pairing them with Folkmanis Life Cycle Puppets. This puppet features a reversible structure, so kids can visually see the bug's life cycle.
• Have Fun While Learning: Puppets are a great way to add interaction, dialogue, or even a dramatic flair into your child’s playtime and learning activities. It helps child development by encouraging attentive listening, verbal communication, socialisation, creativity, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.
• Channel your Inner Puppeteer: There are no rules when puppeteering—it's all about having a blast! To bring your puppet to life, you can make it crawl on your shoulder, twist around, fly, and more. You can also use a little bit of sleight of hand to pique the curiosity of your audience as you unzip and reverse this scientific toy to bloom into its new form.
• A Breeze to Maintain: Touch up your short-hair plush puppets by simply brushing them with a wire or a coarse-bristled brush, just make sure to avoid the eyes, ears, and nose. For long-hair plush puppets, you can shake them vigorously to bring back their hair’s volume and form. Do not comb or brush your long-hair plush to avoid losing the shape of the tufts.
• Many Ways to Play: You can use the life cycle puppet at home while teaching your child, or in a classroom during science classes.
• Cleaning Recommendations: Folkmanis Puppets are surface-washable only*. For spot cleaning, make sure to use lukewarm water and a sponge with Woolite or other mild liquid detergents (sold separately). To dry your puppet, gently squeeze it between towels or hang it from a clothesline so it can drip-dry.

*Do not put in the washer or dryer. Avoid wringing or twisting the puppet to prevent lumpy stuffing.
