A given every year I visited Toy Fair is to stop by the folks at Folkmanis Puppets. They make incredible puppets to spark anyone’s imagination. I was originally going to say ‘kids’ imagination’, but when I saw the joy of everyone at the show who stoped there, I know these puppets please pretty much everyone. This year they told me they introduced more new puppets than ever before. You’ll see most of them in the video on this week’s show and on their website. The other amazing thing about these puppets is the price. I’m always so impressed they can deliver such wonderful puppets for such a reasonable price! Some hand puppets are under $10. They said some Barnes & Noble stores carry a few of their small puppets.
