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

Ultimately, my eight year old son loves it but the mouth part is pretty hard to operate. The plastic is hard and its not very comfortable compared to some other puppets. This is only something I noticed when I tried to use it and I didnt mention anything to my son about it because he likes it no matter what and it doesnt seem to be too much of an issue for him other than he has to switch puppets when putting on a puppet show because his hand gets tired.

My daughter loves Elmo, so I used this puppet to give her a show. At first she was scared, but she opened up and really enjoys it. This Elmo puppet is good for the price, just wish the grip for the mouth was a bit better.

Super soft and plush. Very cute. Hard to maneuver the hands and mouth at the same time. Mouth is stiff. All in all....pretty awesome puppet.

My one year old is obsessed with Cookie Monster. Worth every cent. He loves it.

My son loves Elmo, so we thought it would be a good idea having a puppet to play with. It looks exactly like Elmo and seems to be well made. I recommend it as my baby boy really enjoys our shows with it

Decent puppet. Very soft and well constructed. Fits an adult hand well but the mouth is very stiff and hard to articulate.

Bought this for our grandson. He loves it! It’s so soft, excellent quality, and follows it with his eyes. I’m sure it will be loved for many years.

I love it overall. I use it with 12 other hand puppets to set up the plays, and the kids love it.

good :}

This is definitely a budget Elmo. Bought this to make videos where Elmo sings along to songs by Lil Shordie Scott. I read a bunch of reviews that either said the mouth was too stiff to move, or that the puppet had been updated to one that was easier to use. Unfortunately, the one I got is incredibly hard to make the mouth open and close. Youd have to have a very strong, enduring thumb to make it move for more than a few minutes. The mouth is lined with felt on the outside, and is made of a mildly flexible, stiff plastic which is exposed on the inside where you put your hand. It has a smooth texture that feels fine to use. The red fabric on the outside is very soft. Elmo also doesnt really have a neck, his body is sort of a tube continuing off his head. It gets the job done for some short 15-30 sec clips at a low price point!
