The Puppet Company - Long Sleeves - Elephant Hand Puppet

Product Information

The first two sets of characters were the Alice in Wonderland range and the Cinderella range of characters. They were designed mainly by Gill Leeper. He was a master wood carver and design artist. His work is very distinctive and is easily recognised by the caricatured, exaggerated and pronounced features such as the Ugly sisters and the Mad Hatter. ( It was rumoured that some of his designs were caricatures of some of the people who worked within the factory!)

A full colour double sided sales leaflet was produced depicting thirty-one characters, although other characters were designed and reached prototype stage, not all went into production due to pressure of regular production.

Color in the puppet. Only color the middle third of the sheet, as other two thirds won’t be seen when the puppet is folded (nothing wrong if you color it all though).An elephant never forgets– elephants are believed to have good memories, based on observations that in the wild the herd will follow similar paths over many years. They also appear to recognise many humans, as well as other elephants, even when separated from them for decades. And it’s not just tradition, elephants are also an important part of modern popular culture. Just think of Colonel Hathi in The Jungle Book, or Dumbo, the Disney elephant orManfred in the Ice Age movies. Jungle Flashcards- Teach children the names of jungle species with these handy flashcards. Each one features a lovely illustration of the animal as well as its name. Why not try playing snap with them too? In 1811 an elephant named Chunee arrived in England from Bengal and was housed in the Exeter Change in the Strand. He was put onstage at Covent Garden and then the New Pavilion Theatre. In keeping with the history of performing animals, Chunee was badly treated and became dangerous so was destroyed. His mounted skeleton ended up in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons.
