Melissa & Doug Farm Friends Hand Puppets (Set of 4) - Cow, Horse, Sheep, and Pig Soft Puppets for Kids and Toddlers Ages 2+

The build quality is there. My 15 month grandson likes to probe, pull, bite and poke at things. I was concerned that he might decide to try and eat an eyeball or other part that he might detach but these are relatively safe and aren’t a choking hazard. They are cute, and he’s able to identify the appropriate animal. It’s fun watching him mimic the sounds each would make. Farm animals are definitely his favorite. I am an adult male, and could barely get my hand in there. If you are an adult, you might have a hard time getting your hand in there to articulate movement but it fits toddlers well and they will have fun pretending they’re moving the arms and head of the puppets. It’s a good value for a quality built, sturdy hand puppet.

Purchased for 2 year old granddaughter who loves to sing Old Macdonald.

Well made and really cute. They are a nice size, adults can use them too. They are large enough to not get lost easily and they can be carried around.

Great for child hands, too small for adult hands to adequately move the arms and head around. The eyes are the choking hazard kind so keep close eye during child use. They’re a cute set and my child loves them

Very fun to play with the kids.

So cute! My grandson loves them!

My kids absolutely love them. I'm not a huge fan of puppets (they creep me out- all puppets, not just these) but my kids have been wanting puppets to play with since they saw some puppet show at this Halloween event. I try not to let my own dislikes interfere with my kids' tastes, so I started looking for the least creepy puppets I could find. These were it- they're pretty harmless and about as uncreepy as puppets get. The kids loved them from the moment we opened the box. Soft, about as cute as a puppet can be, and well-made. They have a slot in the head for their three middle fingers and the pinky and thumb go into the arms- no mouths to move, thankfully, so you know, they're nodding puppets. The kids have been carrying them everywhere for weeks- and putting on impromptu puppet shows, all that jazz. They've also tried, as the destructive little moppets do, to pull the 'body' of the puppet down to try to make it longer- applying considerable force into their efforts (it didn't work, of course); and they've (over)stuffed the puppets full of other toys and used them as bags to carry them around, and they've stepped on them, wiped their noses on them, piled chairs on them, stepped on them, played tug of war with them, and generally abused the poor things during standard child-esque play— and the puppets have held up to it all with no marks or tears yet, so well done them. To sum up: cute, soft, durable, well-made, not-terribly-creepy. Thumbs up, from a parental perspective, and all-hands-in from my kids'.

Not for adults - adult hand won’t fit. But good wuality

Lovely and soft puppets each farm animal identified clearly!! Granddaughter of 2years loved them.

Un buen regalo para mi bebé, cuando tenemos viajes o no quiere comer son los que me ayudan a tranquilizarlo o motivarlo a comer

Great puppets, just smaller than I thought.

It is ok....nothing great. The puppets look good, but the inside of the head (where the hand should be put) does not go all the way to the top of the head. Also, there is no separate space given to keep the thumb when you put your hand inside. Because of that it s difficult to use them as hand puppets.
