Folkmanis Funny Frog Hand Puppet

Our friends little boy loves frogs. Loves them. He is almost 3. He lost his mind, even better he or his parents can make it speak. Long boy and frog talks all Christmas day.

This puppet is so cute and expressive. My daughter adores him and wants him around whenever we read books (for some reason she will only hand books to froggy...she wont let me grab them with my other hand). We love this puppet!

Now I know, why all folkmanis puppets are highly rated , because they totally totally worth it . I am a hygiene conscious mother of a 8 yrs old and a 4 month old , so cant take risk and give my kids to Play without washing them (at least once) . So I take a chance and ordered cheapest puppet from folkmans , a mouse of 5 usd , washed and dried with other cloths in normal ( warm cold) and in dryer . No harm to the puppet , so super happy Me ordered more of these puppets to play with . A big hit to our family, this froggie is welcomed as well with lots of laughter and hugs ! Worth it

I made the mistake of looking up the frog puppet on YouTube because I wanted to see how it moves. The frog on YouTube was much larger and all four legs moved. As I hold a ruler to this puppet, I measure 5 x 5 x 13, roughly. I wear a shoe size 9 1/2 w to 10 in ladies, and my hand size is supposed to be comparable to shoe size. This little froggy barely comes to my wrist and feels as though it may almost fall off. However, it is cute. I might add a video IF I can figure out how to run my cam. The description says only the forearms move and the mouth, which is correct.

This puppet is so well loved by my outdoor preschool class. Everyday I hide him in a different place in a small grove of pine trees and the kids like imagining that Toby (my frog puppets name) has jumped up there. They also love talking directly to Toby, and they enjoy it when Toby talks back to them--the design of the puppet makes it easy to move his mouth and make him speak.

Bought this as a gift for my nephew for Christmas. A big hit.

Reasonable price for well designed, fun to use, beautifully crafted FROG puppet. Calls out for motion and sound ..... The best of whats natural in color blend ,danglely. long legs and great bulging eyes. ! !

This little guy is adorable! A tad small though. I have a med - slightly larger than average womens hands and its a very tight fit. I dont think an average size mans hands could get inside the puppet enough to really animate it. However theres just enough room for me. I can move the frogs arms around really well and make him really come alive. A bit hard to move the mouth but its just enough to make it look like hes talking. I love the fabric used for detailed froggy skin and I love his long lanky legs! My 2 year old son giggles non stop when Mr. Frog comes to play!

My grandson is a ten year old, mostly non-verbal autistic, although he has been developing a vocabulary. 18 months ago I got him one of these, we called him Froggy, and he loved it, better than the other Bunch of hand puppets. Problem was, he had three places he played Mom -Dad - Grandmas - and if Froggy was at the wrong home, major meltdown. So I got another one. One would travel with him, the other would stay with grandma. We had done that with Lego toys, and some other things. But they had no personality. Froggy, and Froggy brother, were inseparable, grandpas right hand and left hand. They always traveled with him, but were not animated, did not speak, at mommys or daddys. If you watch the youtube videos with plush toys and puppets you will see they get thrown about constantly. Outside, Froggy gets thrown up into the trees, where he stays, and taunts us, and his brother. One way or another he is retrieved (problem solving occupational therapy). Inside, Froggies are thrown against the wall, beat with a plastic bat, all manors of abuse - and never needed mending. Not even close, no loose seams, none. The plastic eyes are chipped. Early on, they were flying twenty feet in the air, and landing on the driveway. Eventually we avoided pavement, but the damage was done, not that anyone cares. We love our Froggies, warts and all. Grandson does animate Froggy occasionally, but has extra problems making them speak, because grandpa is their alter ego. He told me he is going to get another Froggy at Christmas, and he will make sure he behaves, he will be the alter ego, he will make him talk. Grandpa cant wait for Christmas. I will suggest Froggy Cousin for a name, but the decision is his. Probably a dozen puppets, tons more plush, this is the best materials and workmanship, hands down. Excellent choice of materials. The price is so low, disappointment is not possible. Folkmanis is always first class, best of the best, the other one puppets we have are of equal quality. He has other plush puppets, well made, cost more, and most of them needed mended due to the rough treatment.

My special needs son loves frogs. It can be quite difficult to find gifts he enjoys for Christmas and birthdays. We purchased this frog for him last Christmas, and it was the best $15 I have ever spent. He carries his ribbit around everywhere. After 3 months of daily use, the frog has help up incredibly well. The puppet shows no signs of wear or tear, which gives credit to how well made it is (my son is incredibly hard on toys). I am considering buying a couple as back-up in case ribbit ever gets misplaced!
