Folkmanis Chameleon Hand Puppet

Changes colour and animates just like a real Chameleon,

This is our second Folkmanis puppet, after being really happy with the quality of our first one this guy hasn't let us down. I bought it for my son who recently developed a "thing" for Chameleons... he has been begging for a pet Chameleon from us (and when that didn't work, his grandparents) for the past month and I was on the lookout for something a little less demanding to tickle the itch and this did the trick nicely.

It's a little bit pricey as far as a stuffed animal goes, but being a puppet it's totally worth it. It's made extremely well, of a really cool iridescent fabric (which is NOT sequins, thankfully, I was somewhat worried it was going to end up being covered in sequins) which looks either silver or green depending on how the light hits it (that sort of covers the colour changing property of a chameleon), each of the eyes has a wooden rod attached to them which you can manipulate with your fingers inside to move the eyes independently, the mouth opens and closes (of course) and the coolest thing of all is that you can stick a finger into the tongue which is sort of like a little sock and make it dart in and out of the mouth.


It's a good size to use for an adult but my 4-year old son can also operate the mouth and the tongue, so anybody can use it really and it's pretty easy to animate. I feel like it's not going to fall apart on us and will be around for years... so much better than a plain stuffed animal. We're definitely going to keep buying Folkmanis puppets.
