The Puppet Company - My First Puppet - Duck Hand Puppet

Product Information

In terms of British television at least, Sooty could challenge Kermit's title for greatest ever TV puppet.

Start off by drawing 3 different sized circles onto a piece of scrap card – a small circle for the head,a large circle that will become the body and a medium circle that will be the wing.

How has he not had a cameo in Wallander yet?
