Folkmanis Turtleneck Turtle Hand Puppet

All these Folkmanis puppets are very well-made and my students just love them!

This puppet takes a little bit of work to manipulate. It is possible to have the head inside the shell and have it pop out and then move the mouth to have it talk. I dont like the looks on film this puppet has but perhaps that is just my film making. This puppet is ok. I am not enthusiastic about it. It seems to be well made

Having a great time with my 4 year old grand daughter. A little difficult to make the legs and mouth move with my hand size (Medium Small) but it can be done. All in all loads of fun.

This is totally fun and well made. A great gift for those whose imaginations are ready to shine.

Bought this puppet for my teenage daughter who loves turtles when she got her tonsils out. He is a huge hit. The knit turtleneck on this puppet is so cute. You can even pull the neck and front feet into the shell! If you are a turtle lover you need to own this guy.

My baby loves this puppet. He loves how friendly the turtles face is and how soft his face is. He loves how his head pops out to surprise him. He is such a cute puppet!

This is the best puppet or stuffed turtle Ive seen. Hes adorable, soft, and my son can work the puppet himself. 5 stars!!

The Turtleneck Turtle has loads of personality and charm. It fits my adult male hand so Im easily able to manipulate the mouth and both arms. It is soft, sturdy, and very snuggly. Unfortunately, vinyl shell layer peals off the fabric because the glue holding it degrades. Mine started to fail after two years, during which time the turtle had nightly snuggles, frequent adventures, and even some world travel. In another two years of gentle handling, the fragile vinyl tore where it had separated, making the problem worse. After two more years with no use the shell degraded and fell off on its own. I bought mine in mid 2013, so maybe Folkmanis has improved the glue or vinyl over the years. They really should have used cloth instead of vinyl for the shell. If youre crafty, I recommend sewing on a proper cloth shell as soon as you get this. I plan to do this to mine. I encourage you to buy the Turtleneck Turtle for anyone in your life who would enjoy his expressive and good natured personality. Just know that the shell may be fragile and the glue may fail like it did on mine.

Amazing! One of the best puppets out there for sale!

This puppet is so well made. You can actually manipulate it to change its facial expressions. I really like this brand of puppets. Very high quality.
