Special Month of Birthday Give-Aways - Longwool Sheep Puppet

I thought it would be fun today to announce another of the special give-aways I'm having during the month of May when I'm celebrating grandma's cookie jar's third "birthday" . . . so, today I'm really happy to let you know about another of the amazing puppets from Folkmanis! 

Longwool Sheep
Manufacturer - Folkmanis
Ages - 3+

Favorite Features -

• Great puppet and yet is soft, snugly and a wonderful stuffed toy for a child to love!
• Great attention to detail, design and quality
• Includes information about the Longwool Sheep
• Movable mouth
• Measures 16" long and 13" tall

The Longwool Sheep is described by Folkmanis as; "There are many breeds of Longwool sheep, mostly from Britain. The LONGWOOL SHEEP puppet has lots of personality and might be a Rasta or a hippie, but is always undeniably cuddly."

I love the "wild" look of this sheep with it's long, unruly wool . . . it is a lot of fun, would make a unique puppet for anyone who uses puppets with children and a wonderful "friend" for a child to love. A big, "bonus", is not only is it a plush "friend", but children can learn to use as a puppet as well!

I'm very happy to say not only did Folkmanis send one Longwool Sheep puppet for me to review, but they are making an additional one available for me to give away (USA only)! If you are over the age of 18 and would like to be in the drawing for the Longwool Sheep    Puppet, which will be on May 27, 2014, you may enter by commenting below to let me know about the most non-typical pet you ever had. When I was eight years old, my parents took me to the Town and Country Days in the town I lived in; I rode the Merry-go-Round, played the game where I chose a plastic duck and then won a prize based on the number on the bottom, ate cotton candy and basically did the things you do at a Summer-time fair in your little town. One of the game booths was set up so if you got a nickle on a saucer, you won a duck; a real, live baby duckling. My sister asked if we could try and my dad said we could; this caused great concern on the part of my mom, but my dad told her we would never get the nickle on the saucer, but would have fun trying to do so. My sister tossed her nickle and it went, up, up, up and fell down onto the saucer, but bounced off. She did not win a duckling. My brother tried; with the same results. My mom relaxed because if Loretta and Larry were not able to win the duck, she was sure I wouldn't. I stepped up, tossed my nickle; it went up, up, up, came down and sat softly on the saucer!!! My dad, sister and brother were shocked!!! My mom gave my dad a look which, if looks could kill . . . !!! I was very, very happy! I got to take home a little, fluffy yellow duckling! I named it Peeper! Since we lived in town, we did not have anywhere for a duckling to be, so we ended up giving it to a friend of my dad who had a farm out in the country, but I still laugh about how I once won a real duckling in a nickle-toss game!
