I would like to use the puppet to entertain my infant, which means I need to operate it with my big hands. is that possible?

Yes, it's made for adult hands, a n d is very easy to operate....but be mindful that the dragon's big eyes may be a little scary for an infant.

I think big hands would work this puppet all right. Basically, it's your fingers which split to operate the dragon's mouth. Have fun entertaining yourbaby!

Absolutely! My sons-in-law each had the kiddos giggling on Christmas Eve when they tried out Smaug. He is a full size puppet that anyone can use. The Melissa and Doug line of puppets are all pretty awesome, my grandkids AND their parents love them.

Scott,There has been four of us adults that play with the Smoulder. You should have no problem fitting your hand in to operate his mouth. My husband has large hands and has no problem. There is an external stick you use to operate his hands. I was so surprised to see how beautiful the detailing on the dragon was. I just ordered Alexandra the princess puppet for her birthday. She should have the whole royal family before to long. My hope is she will one day enjoy operating the puppets herself and use her imagination to create stories for them. Hope this helps. - Donna

Yes, both my husband and I use it when reading books to our son. It's pretty roomy inside, and comes with a stick attachment as well.

a bit, probably yeah too big for a kid one hand unless strengthen both hands at same time, then it'll be good I suppose.

No you cannot. You still need 2 hands to put it in. It works well but a little weak. I would probably buy something different.

Yes you can, but it's a little awkward with the support on the palm of your hand.

Yes, you can play with one hand. Opening the case, however, will require some help. Either 2 hands or some tools and ingenuity.

Yes, you can pretend to feed any doll and as you tip it upside down the liquid disappears. Really any time you tip it upside down it will "feed" the doll you are pretending to feed

Yes you can. It is a plastic attachment that easily comes on and off and can be switched from one hand to the other.

Sorry for the late response. I believe the fingers would be tight on a very large hand.

Hey there,Yes, I can. I usually use my thumb to swivel the top open or hold it against something & use my other hand to swivel it open. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can be used with one hand. I think if someone had extremely small hands it could be a bit difficult, but the average adult should be able to manage it.

No you need both hands. There are two rings on either side and a button that has to be pushed.

No. A hand will not fit inside, unless you are planning to have your 2 year old clean it for you. The opening, however, is wide enough to make it very easy to clean.

I have big hands and it is good. Not good for my son. He has a smaller guitar. Not much help I know. Sorry

Thankfully yes. My grandson loves this puppet and plays with it a lot. The jacket became dirty so I put it in the washing machine and it came out very nice. Great puppet.

I tried it but I couldn't make it fly. My Grandson can though. He just pulls the arms and lets it fly somehow.

Yes you can. The hands can be extended foward as if it was reaching for something. The arms can turn in the direction you want the arms to be. If you are looking to buy a Danboard this is the one!!! Hope this helps :D

I don't believe so. I had no problem gripping it, and I have normal sized hands.
