Folkmanis Rabbit in Hat Hand Puppet – Velvet Top Hat Magic, 8x8x14 in

Enchanting Rabbit in Hat Puppet for Storytelling and Stage

Discover a timeless twist on storytelling with the Folkmanis Rabbit in Hat hand puppet. A soft white rabbit rests inside a classic black velvet top hat, waiting for your hand to bring it to life. When you slip your hand up through the hat’s opening, the rabbit pops out, waves its paws, and twitches its pink nose. The tactile contrast between the plush white fur and the rich velvet hat creates a visually compelling moment on stage, in the classroom, or at home. Measuring about 8 inches wide by 14 inches long, it has a balanced presence that reads well from audience to audience.

The rabbit features pink inner ears and pink eyes, with delicate whiskers framing its pink nose. The puppet is surface washable with cold water, making it easy to refresh after energetic play or repeated performances. Folkmanis has a long tradition of crafting high-quality, award-winning puppets since 1976, a mark of durability and imaginative potential that many families and educators appreciate.
