The Puppet Company is teaming up with Save The Children to raise cash for the charity’s annual Christmas Jumper Day.
The family-run puppets and soft toy business is launching a range of Christmas Jumper Bear & Friends Puppets, with £1 for each sold going to the charity’s annual fundraiser, further adding to the £35 million the event has raised over the past 10 years or so.
The puppets, led by Christmas Jumper Bear and including pals Dog, Cat, Unicorn, Crocodile, Elephant and Lion, are each wearing a distinctive Save The Children-branded jumper, made from 100% recycled plastic. The jumpers are removable, giving the range year-round appeal.
