Folkmanis Turtleneck Turtle Hand Puppet

I got this puppet for my daughters 1st birthday. Shes already an animal lover, and instead of getting a live animal to teach her with (that could possibly have salmonella, or be hurt by too-rough hands), my husband and I figured a stuffed, yet interactive friend would help us teach her gentle hands. She was thrilled the minute she saw it, and she talks to it, hugs it, and gives it lots of kisses.. Which wouldnt be very good for a live turtle...

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

Folkmanis puppets never disappoint. Great Prime Day special. Thanks!

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.

Hes great!

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.

My son likes it very much. Very easy to use, even for a childs hands.

This is the best product ive ever purchased

The actual item looks much darker and smaller than the photo. Also, the shell seems plastic in the photo but is actually a padded, leatherlike fabric. This is actually a good thing because its nice and cuddly. Even the size is better for being small. (Think of a small catchers mitt with a head, legs, arms and tail.) You can either control the head or the forearms but not both at once. When controlling the head you can pull it into the shell, if you hold the back of the shell with the other hand, which is cute. The wizened eyes and expression on mine have a definite Kermit the Frog vibe to me. Different but delightful and will make a great addition to my Sunday School lessons for children.

AMAZING QUALITY ITEM WOULD RECOMMEND BUT I NEED A BIGGER ONE
