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

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

I bought three Sesame Street puppets, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Big Bird to entertain a six month old baby. Baby is too little to actually play with the puppets yet, but the infant loves the adults using them to do puppet shows. These really make the little one just giggle. So far Elmo seems to be the favorite (could be the bright color). From a quality standpoint, these puppets are well made, with sturdy but plush fabrics; and are just the right size to fit on your hand. Ive read some isolated reviews that it is difficult to move the mouth on the puppets. It is a slightly stiff, but not really a problem in my opinion, and should loosen up overtime. As a side note, I searched numerous toy stores and the internet for these puppets and could not find them, till I went to the Amazon web site. So happy to finally locate these puppets, as they are new favorite toys the whole family can interact with.

Children loved it especially when the Cooky Monster -- chased them and pinched their toes The only reason I didnt mark it as five star was making Cooky Monsters mouth move was somewhat difficult. Not impossible -- but difficult when attempting to pinch toes. Have put the two Muppet away -- to be reintroduced next Xmas. Watching the little girls scream in delight as the Cooky Monster attempted to pinched the little girls toes -- was well worth the money.

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.

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!

Similar as other reviewers: Nice appearance and feel but the mouth is stiff to open. Fits my medium sized adult hand fine.

I thought it would be bigger but it is not, it covers my hand but it does not go pass my wrist.

I love this Puppet!!. I read a lot of the reviews and I got kinda worried, but Im happy to say that its a very well made Puppet. I know some have been having trouble with the mouth, I dont know if the manufactures fixed it or not, but mine had no such problem. Im an adult and I have pretty wide hands but not very long fingers, so maybe thats why? (I really dont know). You can also control Elmos arms, but if youre looking to put on a a quality Puppet Show, dont even bother with them, it makes Elmo look like hes constipated. One thing that surprised me that I didnt think I would even notice or give a second thought to; a few reviewers said it was very soft, and I have to say, Oh wow its very very soft indeed, and feels very comfortable when on the hand. One little nit pick though, I looked a little inside the Puppet and the stitching aground the mouth seems like its to thin and could pop, now with that said, I know nothing about sowing so take that with a grin of salt, it does seem to be stitched twice so maybe that helps in some way. So with all that said, this is a great Puppet and I recommend you get off the fence and get this NOW!

It’s not meant for an adult, meant for a kid or someone with small hands . This was definitely bigger on the inside than the Elmo we purchased but hard to move so hard to get the puppet to move . We will be using it for decorating now . Hurt my husband hand afterwards. Would gift it but not meant for what we needed it for .

I bought it for my 7 year old nephew. He loved it doesn’t put it down. It looks and feel nice.
