Aurora - Hand Puppet - 10 Garth Dog

I bought this puppet for our puppet theater, and my grandchildren love him. He is colorful, soft, and his beak is easy to manipulate to make him speak. His eyes are well-placed. HIs feet are adorable. My 11-year old granddaughter especially likes to make up puppet skits as she goes along. In the last skit, fearful and sad Petey was worried about his wing, which he thought was hurt. Practical Donkey (another puppet) came with his stethoscope and other doctors tools to see what he could do. After a shot, knee reflex testing, heart exam, and temperature, Donkey decided Petey wasnt hurt at all but was assuming too much and needed to think things through instead of assuming the worst. Donkey then put a bandaid on Petey to make him feel better. Petey was happy until he realized the bandaid had fallen off. After being reassured by Donkey that he was fine but just needed to exercise, Petey decided to do some foot exercises. The skit ends with Petey back to feeling fearful, saying he will probably trip doing his exercises and get hurt and die. Now my granddaughter has another skit planned featuring Donkey and Petey to continue the saga ... For a grandmother, watching the skits has been delightfully entertaining as well as interesting.. I often video them on my phone for the kids to watch afterward. This helps them to see how they can use the puppets more effectively to tell their stories. I would definitely recommend Petey for both adults and children. My hand fits well into his beak, too, unlike some puppets which have mouths that are too small for adult hands. In addition, I have been known to use Petey to speak to the 4-year old, who speaks back to him, even though she knows hes only a puppet. Or is he?

I purchased this Aurora World hand puppet as a gag to play with our Labrador Retriever. I couldnt believe his reaction. The minute i put it on my hand he went nuts. He was jumping so high to get it, i had to put it away for special occasions and am now bracing myself whenever I bring it out. He knocked my son-in-law on the ground trying to get it from him and he is over 6 and over 200lbs. Our other dog simply ignores it. This may be a lab thing only but we are having a ball with it.

When my dog was just a puppy, I was out shopping one day and I found this puppet. I thought it was funny looking, so I brought it home for my dog. We called it Angry Giraffe because of the angry look on its face. Angry Giraffe instantly became my dogs favorite toy. Ten years have passed and I just recently decided to throw Angry Giraffe away because he was getting too gross and moldy from being left out in the rain too many times. Recently, Im shopping for toys for my 10 month old on Amazon, when I come across another Angry Giraffe. Two days later my 10 year old doggy was the happiest girl in the world! Shes playing like a puppy again! The fact that this toy survived about 10 years with my destructive little dachshund says a lot about the quality of the toy. I highly recommend it.

I bought this so I could play with my cat without getting scratched but my hand is a bit big for it. I guess it is made for a child to use.

My 14 month old likes this puppet. He likes anything dinosaur related. I was nervous to order, cuz there isnt many reviews on it. But it looks the same in person, as advertised. My son loves to give his puppet kisses & it makes him happy

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.

Wolfgang came to us at the end of winter. His coat was matted, and he looked like he had had a rough journey, which indeed he said he had. He wanted food. He heard about pig in the barnyard and wondered if he could meet her first. I politely declined. Then he asked for a place to sleep. His only vice (which he cannot help) is that he sheds. He also does not look like a wolf as much as certain grandchildren want him to (aka, he has no teeth). We like him overall, though, and we definitely plan to keep him. He is a bit smaller than expected but small to medium hands fit fine. If I can figure out a way to cut some of a video of him introducing himself so that I can post it, I will. The file is currently too large to post.

I absolutely love this puppet, and my students do, too!! I teach music!! It works great for echo songs and chants!! I even got one to keep at home for my grandkids!! So precious!!
