As colorful as a Van Gogh painting, this artistic bear carries her brushes and palette with her wherever she goes: "I'm a bear who loves to draw. You see, I am an artist. / I look carefully at all I see, and always try my hardest." We love this whimsical puppet from Brooklyn-based artist Fumiha Tanaka; with her colorful smock and cheerful expression, she has a charmingly old-fashioned yet timeless appeal. Otherwise known as a jumping jack, the pull puppet has a hanging loop and four colorful threads dangling below; pull any one or all of them together to make her dance, walk, or gesture. The bear is made of heavy laminated cardboard with hidden metal joints at the arms, hips, and knees, and measures about 11 inches tall. (Not recommended for children under 3.)
