Aurora - Hand Puppet - 10 Garth Dog

Gift for our grandson

It was too stiff not fluffy at all my 2yr old can get her hand in fine but she is too little to manipulate it and it was a tight fit for me

So I bought it knowing it was defective lol. It just looks so creepy I couldnt help but laugh and bought it anyway. Luckily my baby isnt old enough to care how it looks. Just happy to get attention. Maybe he would be fearless over Halloween decor too. Its cheap but for a good price.

Well made and great price. Nice material like a stuffed animal. The eyes are put on very tightly and it doesnt appear that they would come off. It will fit a large hand. The only down fall is the mouth does not move too freely. I had the tendency to insert my hand in the wrong place and it took me a while to figure it out. I made a couple of stitches in the top of the head that help guide my hands to the right position. Problem solved. You can bob the head up and down and move the mouth slightly but it is O.K.. Overall, my granddaughter will love this and I am very very glad the made the purchase.

I use this for a play toy with my 84lb golden retriever puppy. This is only his 2nd one. He just turned 1. He absolutely loves it. This is not recommended play or training. But we cant help it. Its just too much fun.

This is DeDe, my special teaching assistant for my online teaching. DeDe is a great icebreaker for small children who may otherwise be afraid to interact with a foreign teacher. I enjoy how DeDes mouth moves so obviously- she is my puppet of choice for encouraging children to speak. I also recommend getting a puppet with arms for non-speaking purposes in English class. DeDe is a great size and has a wide enough neck for me to quickly pop her onto my hand. Some of my other puppets have too small of holes to slip on quickly, so this is a plus when I need a quick prop.

I returned it because it’s larger than what I wanted but the item was fine it was perfect so it’s not the item it’s just not what I needed. One additional note it did shed some hair.

I like this for the most part. Working the puppet mouth is not the best. Really stiff to have a realistic puppet.

Quality is good; better than average, though it is a bit uncomfortable with my big hands (kids & most women would probably find it comfortable). I bought this to play with my dog, and didnt realize that the mouth and nose are made of or contain hard plastic. As a result, this was kind of a failure; we have other (much more expensive) Folkmanis puppets that have no hard parts and are great for this particular use. To be fair, I was trying to do something that this puppet wasnt intended for, or represented as; a dog toy. Although I dont recommend this to people hoping to use it as I did, for its intended use AS A PUPPET, I think the quality is quite good and was certainly worth the price.
