GUND Sesame Street Official Cookie Monster Muppet Plush Hand Puppet, Premium Plush Toy for Ages 1 & Up, Blue, 11”

Mouth doesnt open very easily. My hand gets tired from the force required to open it.

Ok, I purchased this as a gift for someone but I actually contemplated buying one for myself, too! I resisted, but..... Its super cute and I still wouldnt turn this down if it arrived in my mail box with my name on it! Who doesnt love Cookie Monster? Hes always been my favorite character from Sesame Street and this puppet was really a well-made little fuzzy replica of the old monster. His eyes were attached really well and my hand fit nicely in his mouth when I wanted to make him talk. Its a kids toy, but Im sure all ages would enjoy this guy!

Great item.

I bought this and another hand puppet with the lofty hopes of being able to entertain my 1-year-old grandson with them, at some point. As they arrived, they look and feel like you would expect, accurately depicting the character. The problem lies inside the mouth of the puppets. For whatever reason, they are made with a huge amount of resistance in the mouth (where your hand goes, to make it talk). Im a grown man, and had a huge amount of difficulty getting the mouth to look open. There was a HUGE amount of resistance here. I would think that if something were designed to be used as a puppet, they would test it a bit to make sure you could open and close the mouth easily. If this were a stuffed animal, it would be almost a full score. It looks like the character. However, as a puppet, I was very disappointed.

My daughter purchased this for her 18 months daughter. She loves playing with it.

Our soon-to-be three granddaughter is an Elmo fan - she has the plush Elmo and the Elmo chair - so sometimes when we are Face-Timing her, Ill put puppet Elmo on the phone and she LOVES it. I cant wait to teach her how to make Elmo talk. Great puppet, great toy. Well Done!

I ordered this puppet for my 1 year old grand-daughters birthday as her mom said she liked Elmo. I always liked puppets and thought they were great fun for kids to play with, but this one has a mouth that is hard for adult fingers to get into so it is hard to work the mouth. It fits an adult hand okay and the arms are easy to manipulate but they couldve made the mouth better I think. It is soft and grand-daughter liked it as a stuffed toy.

The mouth is way too stiff and hard to move, even for an adult hand. I just assumed everyone as whining and it wasn’t that bad. I was wrong! It’s terrible and renders the puppet useless, since main purpose doesn’t operate correctly. Two stars because cute and high quality otherwise.

Its hard to get digits in the arms and make the mouth work, so I opt for the mouth and a little wiggle gets the arms in motion. Cookie, Cookie, Cookie

Always pleased with Gund brand! Durable. This Cookie Monster puppet is so cute and makes hours of entertainment for my 3 boys. It started with a YouTube clip on cookie monster puppet reviewing cookie monster toys. My youngest son (3yr old) watches it a lot. So, I had to get it. Fits my hand well and my 7yr old can operate it too. My only complaint is it sheds a little but, overall the hours of entertainment and smiles are worth it.
