Melissa & Doug Chef Puppet

We haven the chef, the surgeon and the king. They are all amazing quality. The stick is great for dramatic puppet gestures, but if you dont want to use it, it is removable. It has Velcro on one end that sticks into the hand. We have removed it a few times and. It always goes back and is good as new. These puppets are amazing quality! The material is obviously well made and they have held up to many rambunctious puppet shows. We love to pretend the chef is over enthusiastic and likes to cook everything he sees and he chases the other stuffed animals. My children think it is hilarious and laugh so hard we cant understand what they are saying through the giggles. This is a wonderful toy!

My son is going to love this for Christmas!

Overall great puppet. The stick was broken at the thick handle part. It was in a large box with other items so it was not damaged in transit. I wont be returning it because the 8 year old who uses it did not want to wait for a new item. If the break had not happened I would have given it a higher rating.

I recommend this product if you want your kids to be entertained, my kid loves it and he takes it everywhere, my only concern is that it does not hold well on the washing machine, I follow the instructions to wash it but I think they need to build it more sturdy to hold more washes.

After reading some of the comments about other M&D puppets looking deformed - I wanted to mention that these puppets are toys first, additionally they are $15 toys. They are not large professionally created Muppets - so dont set your expectations much over a stuffed animal. And no...they dont look like real people. Overall - these puppets (we have 9) are made very well relative to the cost. They do not have strings hanging off of them and most have surprisingly good details like finger nails (on the dragon) and a detachable clothes (scarf and coat for the chef...the hat is not detachable). Each puppet even has its own head shape and size making them even more diverse including the various outfits. You just cant beat having your very own puppet troop for this price. I should note that we do not let our 3 year old play with these puppets yet. Instead we pack them away after each show. We think of these more as props for now until he is old enough to pretend himself... FYI - if your chefs hat is a little mushed - stuff a little paper inside to puff it up a bit...

My 9 year old absolutely love this puppet. He have been asking for this toy for the longest time and I didnt want to spend money on a toy he will only like for good 10 minutes then get tired of it. So far hes been excited and happy about this toy ever since he got it. He wanted to do YouTube video. He wants to get the Cop puppet for his birthday. This toy helps the kids imagination and creativity. I see him play with the puppet and keep his 3 year old sister entertain.

The puppet was great. My son loved it. Unfortunately the stick controlling the arm broke but he played with it a lot so it could be his mishandling.

I HAVE BOUGHT TWO OF THESE OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS BECAUSE MY SON HAS PLAYED WITH IT SO MUCH! I would not recommend running it through the washer.....thats why I had to buy a second! These are made wonderfully and sturdy. His jacket comes off...this can go in the washer. As does his scarf. My son has a whole collection of these. They are so fun! Even I love them.

I bought this for my son and he loves it except for the mouth could’ve been wider or made easier to open and shut. When you try to make him talk your arm gets tired because of the way you have to hold it also the mustache could’ve been put up higher so it wasn’t in his mouth. The way it looks when your making it talk or looking at it, it looks like his Mustache is inside his mouth and not on top of his lip where it should be.

It was a awesome puppet just got it today and is so cool and it looks like chef pee pee
