A flexible hook patch and a flexible pile patch are provided. One patch is secured to the outer surface of the puppet and the other is secured to the outer surface of the object. The puppet is manipulated by grasping the object and tossing the object away from the puppet. The string is thus extended and this causes the object to move back to contact with the puppet, whereupon the patches mate and the object is caught and held to the puppet until again grasped and tossed away from the puppet. Various embodiments simulate a baseball player puppet playing with a baseball object, a football player puppet playing with a football object, and a dog puppet playing with a bone-shaped object. | |
