Folkmanis Turtleneck Turtle Hand Puppet

Loved this product. Exactly what I wanted. Bought it for a gift and it was well received. I did think it was a little expensive.

My students love him

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.

Great puppet for young and old. Move moves easily and front hands. Head comes in and out easily. Ive purchased many other folkmanis puppet and this and the owl are a great find.

Cute, fun, and keeps children engaged during singing and storytelling.

Love the turtle! This is our fourth puppet from this company. They are real looking, and most are washable. My grandson loves them!

The product is great. I am a little annoyed with Amazon for not following through with the delivery date listed when I purchased the item. It unfortunately arrived too late for me to use.

This is ridiculously entertaining. My kids loved it.

I bought this puppet and a few others for my two daughters ages 4 & 2 for Christmas. I have to say that this is their favorite. It is very well built and they love it. They have even taken it to school to show their friends and all the kids wanted to play with it. Great toy!

I bought this puppet to use with students, teaching them to Stop, Think, and Tuck like Tucker the Turtle when they are angry, instead of lashing out. The students just love this puppet! He is very cute and appealing, and it is easy to pull in the head and the arms and legs to demonstrate and practice. The product is also sturdy and well made, and a good value for the price.
