Folkmanis Alligator Hand Puppet

My students love the alligator. Folkmanis is the way to go for anything puppet

I bought this alligator puppet for my nephew after his visit to an alligator farm. He handled a baby alligator and couldnt stop talking about it so when I saw this puppet, I bought it to give him on his 5th birthday. I know itll be a hit. The eyes are realistic and the puppet feature will allow imaginative play.

The sewing for the mouth of this puppet was poorly done and made it crooked. Otherwise, the puppet was well-constructed.

It was a toss up between this and the more expensive, more realistic looking Folkmanis alligator puppet. So glad I went with the cheaper one-- it paid off. The scales are more irregular looking in person-- more realistic than appears in the picture. The teeth are made of a tough, rubbery plastic, which I think my 3 year old son will love. His eyes are nice and reptilian. He he has nice weight, but not too heavy, and hes constructed at the high quality of all Folkmanis puppets. I thought the tail would stick out straight in the back, giving him a good shape for swimming though the swamp, but it curls over to the side. Another view of the puppet would be nice to show this detail. Anyway, he will just swim a little crookedly and were going to have a lot of fun with him!

These Folkmanis puppets are fabulous. Great puppet. Thanks

A wonderful gift for Seth who just turned 7.

This is so cute, love it! Can’t wait to give it to my grandson.

My boy absolutely loves this. he uses it weekly. Very nice quality

This puppet is so much fun! I am a speech therapist and my students love this puppet! I can usually figure out a way to use this puppet for a variety of different language activities. This puppet is definitely one of my favorite toys because it makes my lessons very exciting and engaging for kids.

Our local library allows puppets to be checked out- and this alligator is one of my 2 year old grandsons favorites. Decided to see if Amazon carried a puppet similar to our local librarys alligator puppet in order to surprise my grandson; and was happy to discover the exact same brand of alligator puppet. He now has his own alligator to wrestle with and talk to at Grandmas house. Everyone likes to pick up the gator and make him talk and toss balls with his mouth. Well-made puppet. Definitely will buy another puppet from this company
