about:
Start your own hand-operated menagerie with this charming lion puppet. One of a series in our popular line of hand-knit puppets, this will be sure to charm kids and grownups alike.
We also love that this is a fair-trade product: knit by artisans in rural Kenya, each features a tag signed by the knitter.
Each puppet is handmade, one-by-one, so some variation is natural.
