#2434 PINOCCHIO

This from Folkmanis, Inc.: "While the classic story of Pinocchio finds the poor puppet only wanting to become real—a real boy—here at Folkmanis we’ve been busy bringing life to all of our puppets! After years of trying, we have finally achieved a Pinocchio worthy of Carlo Collodi’s dreams! Not only does he have jointed knees, working arms, movable mouth and tongue—his nose actually GROWS with the help of your fingers!"

In the classic story mentioned above, Pinocchio is, of course, a String Puppet. Here, he is a Hand Puppet... and a magnifiscent one to say the least. With a movable mouth, workable hands and a retractable nose, Pinocchio stands 30 inches tall.

FAIRIES OF THE SEASONS

A fairy is a small, supernatural creature. In folklore, fairies are usually in human form but they have been known to disguise themselves if needed. They do live in their own magical realm but they also have been sighted among the flowers, woodlands, hills and streams of the real world. Our Spring Fairy (GS2805) is dressed in lime green, sprinkled with pastel rosettes, and her slippers are golden. The Summer Fairy (GS2806) is dressed in emerald and plum with a rose decorated hair ribbon. Beautiful is our Autumn Fairy (GS2807) in a rich plum fantasy gown with her hair showered in autumn leaves. Our Winter Fairy (GS2808) wears a fur-trimmed satin gown emblazoned with snowflakes. Holly berries adorn her waist and headband and her shoes glisten in silver.
