17 Silly Penguin, Animal Hand Puppet

First off. Why dose this bird have a cloth beak, stiched off cented and flops to the shape of your hand? Secondly. its fur matt can be picked off buy the force of duct tape grip alone showing off the loose netting and cotton organs. Thirdly. articulating the mouth can cause a blinking effect with the droopy eyes. Thats no complaint just saying. Forth. There is potiental for thicker flippers to run a wire evenso thus more fun. So this is a good buy if you dont plan on doing a movies worth of action with it. Maybe something like Big Brother where it just sits there and talks at the camera then derps around.

Okay, so the puppet is a little on the pricey side when you add in shipping, but now that I actually have it - Im so glad I splurged. I bought this to go with our schools math program Puzzled Penguin lessons. It is a way of having young children explain their math strategies and problem-solving attempts to the poor, confused penguin. I thought having a puppet that could talk to the students would really help sell the lessons and engage the kids. The puppet is very well-made and looks exactly as pictured. I really get a kick out of his slightly surprised expression. The mouth is easy to manipulate so that will also add to the variety of expressions he can make. He has been the source of lots of giggles in my household already, I cant wait to get him to school and show him to the students.

Very nice puppet! Large & fits hand well…… super cute too!

I bought this as a Christmas gift and they left it it’s very well-made

I call him peter the penguin, and he is so funny to look at. So super soft.

Perfect and my daughter loves it. Just as described and seems to be pretty well made.

This was a gift for a child. It was very large, very soft and looked exactly like the picture. My son was surprised to see he had a tongue inside his beak/mouth, it is red and heart shaped. also, only the mouth moves, there is not a way to move the flippers from inside the puppet. It was very well received by the recipient! He loved it.

Pretty good size and easy to use. The price is also good compared to other puppets. Was a hit at children’s church. Only wish I could easily control his flippers.

Moving mouth not easy. Not for young kids

This puppet is very cute, but the part where your hand is supposed to fit to make the penguin talk, is very slippery and very hard to handle after just a few minutes of puppet dialogue.
