Folkmanis and Sierra Club Join Together for Innovative Puppet Line

FOLKMANIS – the world leader in puppet innovation – and SIERRA CLUB – America's oldest, largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization – have signed a two-year licensing agreement to create a lineup of puppets. This is the first licensing agreement in multi award-winning Folkmanis’ 29-year history.

Folkmanis designers have developed some very creative new puppets that will allow children and adults to have their own little bit of nature right at their fingertips. The Folkmanis Sierra Club Wildlife Puppets include: BLACK BEAR IN GARBAGE CAN, BLACK BEAR IN SLEEPING BAG, SNOWY OWL WITH OWLET IN BACKPACK, EAGLE WITH EAGLET IN BACKPACK, LARGE GRIZZLY BEAR, POLAR BEAR CUB, and SEQUOIA TREE WILDLIFE PLAY SET.

“We wanted to introduce quality, educational toy products that appeal to children’s fascination with nature and at the same time encourage active play,” says Johanna O’Kelley, Sierra Club’s Director of Licensing.  For further information on Folkmanis Sierra Club Wildlife Puppets go to www.folkmanis.com, contact Folkmanis at 800-654-8922, or visit  www.sierraclub.org/productlinks
