Aurora - Hand Puppet - 10 Garth Dog

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.

Honestly I bought this for my 15lb dog since she loves when I put my hand under the blanket to play. She loves it and gets excited when it comes out to play. 10/10 would recommend for dogs that dont tear toys up

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

We found a tiny orphaned calico cat & purchased this puppet as a sort of nanny cat. Our kitten has bonded with Nanny Cat. All this time latter she still cuddles with it.

I bought this T-Rex for a friend for her birthday. Now, we are adults, and it was more of a gag gift. She was always saying how she wished she had a T-Rex when she was at work to destroy things when she got frustrated. I was worried that the puppet wouldnt fit comfortably on her had since, like I said, we are adults. I had my husband try it on when it arrived and it fit easily on his hands, and he has large hands. So if you order this then you should be able to play with it yourself, and put on puppet shows with your child. Or, if you are like my group of friends, put on puppet shows for your own entertainment. I gave it 4 stars for durability only because of the teeth. I think they will probably hold up well, but the way they are made they end up being a little crooked, which I really think adds some character to the puppet. But some people might not like that. Weve had so much fun with this puppet that Ive just ordered 2 more, one for myself, and one for another friend.

I bought this for my great nephews birthday and he opened yesterday. He popped it on his hand and was ‘roaring’ after his little sister and they were laughing. I’d say it was a hit. I thought it was a good value for the price I paid. I’ll have to update later on how durable it is after some play time.

Fun puppet to play with. Beak design is a little difficult for small fingers to operate.

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.

It’s a silly little puppet. Funny gag. Not much else. Perfect the way it is.

Our little Bichon loves all these Aurora puppets. We play tough guy with them. His favorite is the parrot. He looks forward to fighting and chewing on Mr Hand every day. He eventually gets it off my hand (I let him) and he looks for a soft spot to tear a hole in it. I have tried a bunch of these different brands of puppets and the Aurora brand puppets are without question the best. They are the sturdiest and longest lasting. They fit the hand well and are nice and soft and well padded for the little guy to chew on. Its become a staple for his Holiday and Birthday presents.
