Aurora - Hand Puppet - 10 Garth Dog

I bought it for my puppy,as he loves to play. it has been his favorite toy for a good 6 months. Every other toy he chews and rips up, so I put the TRex up out of reach when Im done playing so it would last longer. its been 6 or 7 months now, hes 11 months old and much stronger. the eyeballs are chewed off, the neck is torn 3/4 off. it lasted a long time and he still loves it. Im going to order another one this week. lots n lots of fun. When hes ready to play he keeps eyeballing the out of reach toy haha. I pick it up and say you want this?? he starts barking lol I put it on my hand and I can barely get it on my hand at times as he is all over it haha.

This is a great brand. I’ve never had an issue with any of their puppets, before this one (elephant). Due to the very small mouth, the thumb placement (jaw) is super short which significantly restricts your hand’s movement. That restriction causes really quick fatigue, so this isn’t a puppet to use for a ton of mouth movement. On the plus side, if you need a puppet to exhibit fear, as in “trembling in fear”, this one is perfect. It’s trembling trunk is hilarious! The kids totally crack up seeing the trunk shake all over the place, so this elephant (“Elliot”) is the quiet, nervous type. Lol

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!

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!

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?

Sunny, our cockatiel, loves Petey. The minute he was placed on top of the cage Sunny ran up to see him and he has never been without his friend since. He sings to him, sits beside him, and just really likes to be with him. Petey and Sunny were made to be together. Petey is much larger than our bird but Sunny just doesnt care. He was never afraid of him. I think the bright colors attract Sunny as much as anything else. Petey was made to be a puppet, but if I start touching Petey our Sunny rises to the defense. Sunny doesnt like anyone touching Petey but him. So Petey sits with Sunny and all is well with the birds world. AD2

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.

Fun little puppet kids love it

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

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
