Folkmanis Rooster Puppet . . . I'm Giving One Away!

One of the "classic" "symbols" of "farm life" is a rooster . . . at least for me, being a "non-farm girl", it seems like a rooster is a "staple" of farms . . . strutting around and crowing when the sun rises! So, when Folkmanis sent me one of their new Rooster Puppets to review, I thought it would be fun to also give it away!

This rooster reminds me of the things I love about Folkmanis puppets . . . the design is outstanding - the fake fur really looks like feathers - even when you touch it, you have to take a "double-look" to see it doesn't really have feathers on it! Clearly Folkmanis gave attention to the design and details on this "feathered" friend! I found the "facts of interest"  on the tag attached to this rooster, interesting - for example; did you know roosters have larger combs and longer tails than females?

Folkmanis says, "Cock-a-doodle-doo! Let out a crow when you work this ROOSTER PUPPET. You can strut and peck with the best of them when you animate his head and beak. The best part is he'll let you sleep in!" If you like roosters - or even if you don't particularly have roosters on your "list" of favorite birds, this rooster is sure to be a fun friend which you can use with grandchildren/children when you tell stories or who they can have fun playing with as well!

As I mentioned, I'm very happy for the opportunity to give one Folkmanis Rooster Puppet away (USA only)!
