Product Description
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to supplier production and shipping delays far beyond our control, we are so sorry to announce that our Ziggy the Zebra puppet is temporarily unavailable.
As disappointed as we all are about Ziggy’s “extended vacation,” we are absolutely thrilled with the uniquely-gifted hand puppet that will be subbing for Ziggy this year. Melinda the Monkey, our Level 3 character hero and Ziggy’s best friend, has something most hand puppets only dream about - arms!
Working arms add a unique emotive dimension to hand puppetry that creates more fun and high-fives, as well as the opportunity for more tender moments. Melinda, with her long arms, is a great hugger!
Watch the short video above, and you’ll see that in the right hands (yours!), Melinda can be more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
