Kiwi Hand Puppet for Storytelling
This Folkmanis kiwi hand puppet measures 14 inches long and 10 inches tall. It is designed for stage work, classroom teaching, daycare activities and pretend play at home. The pear-shaped plush body uses velour accents to mimic the nocturnal bird from New Zealand. Movable head and foot pockets let a single hand create lifelike walking and pecking motions.
Velour Accents and Dual Pockets Add Expression
The soft velour detailing highlights the beak and feet for visual contrast under stage lights. Two foot pockets and a head pocket allow independent movement of three points without rods or strings. High-quality plush construction withstands repeated handling and is easy to clean. These features turn a simple plush toy into a performance prop that holds audience attention.
Suited for Educators and Solo Performers
Teachers, librarians and puppeteers who need a durable, one-handed character for stories about wildlife or conservation will find it practical. Collectors seeking a display-only model with rigid posing or internal armature should look elsewhere. Buyers who want electronic sound, light or motorised movement will not find those functions here. The size fits adult and older-child hands comfortably.

Questions about this item
How should I clean the velour accents on the Kiwi hand puppet if they get dirty during play?
Spot-clean the plush fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the puppet to protect the internal structure and velour detailing.
What part of the 14" long puppet is most likely to show wear first after repeated performances?
The movable head and foot pockets receive the most handling, so their seams and fabric will show wear before the main body.
Does the plush material trap heat when the puppet is worn on a hand for a full day of storytelling?
The soft plush and velour can feel warm during extended wear; taking short breaks lets air circulate and keeps the hand comfortable.
