Folkmanis
Puppets - Handle with Fun!

    Conceived as a “cottage industry” business in Watertown, MA., in the late 1960’s and nurtured among the street vendors lining Berkeley’s famed Telegraph Avenue, Folkmanis® Puppets are the expression of Judy Folkmanis’ active imagination, sewing wizardry, and love of nature. 

     Creating her first animal puppets to entertain her own children, Judy was astounded when her unsung, but cuddly, creations began attracting a growing group of paying customers.  Most often these were other parents who sought high play value from their toy purchases and an appreciation of the natural world for their children.

      Joined in the burgeoning endeavor in 1976 by her Ph.D. husband Atis—who happily abandoned a career in biochemistry for pattern-cutting—the couple realized that launching a menagerie of carefully detailed and realistic animal puppets was their “right livelihood.”  They hired several seamstresses and never looked back.

      Still headquartered in Emeryville, California, today Folkmanis, Inc. has grown to become the premier manufacturer of plush puppets worldwide.  Folkmanis® offers over 200 of the most heartwarming and realistically designed creatures—both exotic and familiar—on the market today.  And, after more than 25 years, Folkmanis, Inc. is still a family business.  Judy and Atis oversee both the creative and operations sides to ensure that the quality and love of the natural world they wish to convey through their toys remains true to their original vision.

     Among the most celebrated of toys, Folkmanis® Puppets are consistently awarded excellent marks by such independent toy evaluators as Dr. Toy, Parents’ Choice and Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, and win the country’s top toy awards.
