ABSTRACT:
A garment having an amusement device in the form of a puppet being integrally a part thereof and attached to the sleeves of the garment. The puppet is formed from the sleeve of a garment having two distinct layers of material which are attached at one end. A first layer extends into a second layer wherein the first layer is attached to the second layer at the end of the sleeve through which the hand extends. The interior end of the second inner layer is substantially unattached to the outer layer. Because of the substantially unattached interior end, an upper and a lower cavity is formed within the sleeve between the two layers of material. Accordingly, the fingers of the hand may be placed in the upper and lower cavities for manipulating the end of the sleeve and forming a puppet. When desired, the inside layer can be folded outwardly to form a cuff such that the puppet is hidden from view. Upon unfolding the cuff, the puppet is exposed. Ornamental items which represent facial features of a puppet, including hair, eyes and nose are applied to the outer layer of material. In the unfolded position, the cavities can be moved in an upward and downward manner such that the inner layer of material represents the mouth and the outer layer of material represents the face of the puppet. Upon conclusion of playing with the puppet, the inner layer may be folded outwardly over the ornamental items to form the cuff and thereby hide the puppet from view.
