    This is so great! Just wonderful idea to make this available to kids. My son loves it. He makes video and plays so much, i love the creativity that comes out. The material is very good, fit for kids 2/3 and above!

    Puppet is cute and my kids like it....but we couldnt figure out what the extra piece of wood was for, until we realized that it was actually the handle to the rod. It was broke off in the package. It still works but the handle is about 3inches shorter without it, making it hard for them to do a puppet show without their hand being visible. But its still nice for the price.

    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.

    We ordered this puppet for my children, as my husband has always wanted to have a nice collection of puppets. The Melissa & Doug puppets are really impressive- they are well made for a decent price. The chef in particular is a favorite. We just love the way he looks. It is easy to make the puppet have hilarious expressions and there is a stick attached to one arm, so you can move one hand, which is fun for my kids. They seem pretty durable, but we dont leave that up to chance, as we store them up and away from my kids and only bring them out every few months as a special treat. I think that treating them this way, they will last for years to come.

    My son named him Chef Spaghetti. He wanted to be a ventriloquist so I got him this as his first puppet. It really brings out his creativity and personality.

    Such a cute hand puppet. Purchased for a 6 year- old’s B’Day & he was delighted and laughed.

What"s for dinner? Just ask Chef Alfredo "Al" Dente for the special of the day! Use one hand to manipulate the puppet"s mouth and facial expressions while gesturing with the removable wooden rod with the other. Detachable rod is suitable for lefties or righties! It is made from material that"s both durable and incredibly soft to the touch. This quality construction and a strong interior structure for the head mean it will hold up to years of creative puppet play. The classic white chef"s hat is made to stay put on the expressive, mustachioed Al Dente, while the detailed white chef"s coat and red bandanna have self-stick tabs and are removable and machine-washable. Puppet play inspires countless creative stories and amazing imaginary adventures. It"s terrific for self-confidence and also an invaluable booster for motor skills, hand-eye coordination, communication skills, parent-child bonding, and so much more! A removable hand rod attaches to either hand of the puppet, making it simple for both left-handed and right-handed puppeteers to practice and develop their story-telling skills. This versatile classic puppet is appropriate for puppeteers of varying skill levels and helps develop narrative and creative thinking. The Chef Puppet with Detachable Wooden Rod makes a great gift for kids ages 3 and up. Add the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Puppet Theater to round out the hands-on, screen-free puppet play experience.
