Aurora - Hand Puppet - 10 Garth Dog

This puppet gave to grandsons, 5 and 8. Already have this brand in the giraffe, which they love. Boys found hard to use as too much filler in head and nose. I opened up seam and removed some of the filler to make head and nose squishy and sewed it up. Boys now love using this monkey puppet.

This is well stuffed/padded which was very important as I use these puppets to play with my blind dog. It is the only kind of toy that we can play with together; obviously he cant play ball or chase after a good stick but he can go after these puppets. Because of the heavy stuffing I dont feel anything when he chomps down on one of these cute puppets!

Ordered this item to replace the old raccoon puppet for a child. Looked identical, really soft and plenty of space for your hand to fit inside.

The design of this wolf puppet was fairly neutral - even approachable. We added it to a book and CD of Peter and the Wolf for a pre-schooler, so we didnt want a really scary wolf. The child really like the puppet.

No dislike

UPDATE: Oh, the poor little Bandit! Bandit has been Bingos security blanket, humping companion, BFF, and only other dog in the house until we got a real-live lifewire little dog, Doobie, who is a Jack Chi. Doobie is one high-energy chewing fool. Doobie has gotten up inside of Bandit and pulled his guts out of his butt and also chewed his eyes out, leaving holes. Bingo is not happy and so is trying to tug his dear Bandit away from Doobie, so I knew Bandit was not going to be long for the world. I ordered a new Bandit for Bingo, and he is thrilled, but Im going to have to put him up until Doobie is over his puppy stage. But this Bandit racoon puppet is a fantastic purchase for a little dog. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Move over Gator. Hit the box, Fox. Bandit has arrived. Our 10-week-old Chiweenie puppy wants to bite-shake play, and even though hes careful not to be too vicious with DHs hand, he was breaking the skin. I got this puppet as a way to protect us from those sharp little puppy teeth. Bingo went nuts for Bandit, and we did, too. On my hand, I dont like the fit on my thumb, which tends to slide out of the arm, but it seems to be fine on DHs larger hand. I just lift Bandit by the back and march him up and down, and the puppet is floppy enough, but also firm enough, to seem like a living critter. I cant emphasize enough how nice the contrast between his nose and white snout is. When we say bite his nose, he goes right for that little black nose. The nose and the eyes are sewn in very well so I dont worry so much about our dog pulling them off and choking them. Another thing really nice about this puppet is that it has some movement to it even when we are not assisting him in playing with it. He will pick it up and shake it, carry it around like its his prize possession (which is funny, because its bigger than he is), and put it in his room (a small rug) with his collection of squirrels and such. UPDATE: Oh, Bandit is such a hit! Bingo sleeps with Bandit, pees on Bandit, madly humps Bandit, chases him all over the house when we throw him, carries him proudly to show Bingo too in the mirror, jumps up into the back of the loveseat in the living room with Bandit so Bandit can look out the window with Bingo at the neighbors passing by. Bandit has had to go in the washing machine quite a few times now, and with vicious chiweenie tug-of-war play, poor Bandits scalp is starting to come unsewn. I can sew him up by hand and hell be fine, but Im already thinking Id better get another Bandit to have on hand for when Bingos BFF is in complete shreds! Bandit has shrunk some with washing, so its hard to get a large adult hand into him, but hes still more than doing his job. He and Bingo now are about the same size. Bingos eight months old and seven pounds.

My son watches popular children youtubers, and we got this bear to play along with it.

Well seeing how I got this for my doggy so I can wrestle with him . He loves it! Though it tires me out it really lifts his spirits when he’s being a grump and tires him out when he’s bored and give me a little exercise too lol. This is the only dog head type hand puppet I could find on the internet. I would totally buy more of them if they had different types of dogs.

This toy is great and a favorite for my toddler. He loves that he can use it as a puppet or treat it like all his other stuffed animals. Even with over 10 other stuffed “buddies” already sleeping in his bed, this one quickly became a favorite and preferred over most others. I am very happy with the purchase and will probably purchase another character for my youngest.

I love this raccoon!! I bought it for myself (adult). I teach online and need a sidekick for those moments when the children get bored or distracted or need a funny example. The things I like about it are that even though its mouth doesnt move, its hands move beautifully. I can hold props with it, wave, make funny movements, all very easily. Its also soft and comfortable, and BEST OF ALL, it really does look exactly like the Amazon photograph; theres no variation. I am an adult woman with small hands. My hands are the same size as my ten year old sons hands. The raccoon is neither tight nor loose on me. It fits me with great comfort. Im so happy I bought this, and if things start getting dull with the raccoon, Im going to buy the cat. Great purchase!
