Folkmanis Funny Frog Hand Puppet

Looks better than I expected! It is a surprisingly expressive puppet. Probably not comfortable for most adult male hands. Not much space in this one.

I bought this puppet for my 1-year-old niece. She really adores it. When she sees the frog her entire face lights up, she gives it hug, and pats it on the head. The arms move really well, the eyes are big and shiny, and the mouth can open and close easily to give kisses or eat snacks. All of these features are essential for a good puppet, and help to make it more life-like and fun. I also have the hedgehog puppet from Folkmanis, but it’s a bit stiffer and doesn’t move as freely as the frog. For that reason, the frog is definitely the household favorite and one I would recommend to anyone looking to entertain or interact positively with children.

Its little hands are darling when you make it wave. The daycare kids love it.

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.

So cute and got it so fast! Its well made and looks just like the photoand description! Fun puppet for the kids!

This puppet design is full of personality just waiting to be put into action.

Very nice toy. My grandkids will love it. Very worth the money.

Purchased this as a gift for my two year old grandson. His new favorite word is Frog lol Cutest thing everrrrrrr. Very happy with my purchase :)

I love this puppet. He’s a sweet, fun character.

Nothing to dislike. Perfect size for adults and children. Maluable face for expressions. Easy to use.
