Soft, gentle, and full of woodland charm — the Folkmanis® Fawn Hand Puppet brings the innocence of a baby deer to life. This delicate little fawn is crafted with silky, spotted fabric that mimics a real fawn’s coat, and plush detailing that gives it a realistic and cuddly feel.
Slide your hand inside to animate the puppet: its movable head and front legs let you mimic timid movements, gentle gestures, or shy forest play. The fawn’s big black eyes, soft vinyl nose, and vinyl hooves add realistic touches that make it truly lifelike.
