This is one cute puppet. The kids are already fighting over it.
It'll be just right for our puppet shows.

My son loves the rescue bots.  We got him the whole team for a gift and they have become his top favorite toy.  He really likes that he can transform them on his own, he was 3 at the time, now 4 years old.  The toy seams well built, toddler boys are rough on toys and its holding up very well.  It looks a little different for facial features from the show, but he doesn't notice or care.

This raccoon makes for a very cute puppet. The face is really realistic in my opinion. The tail is very cute, and seems just like it belongs to a real raccoon. The only thing I don't like is how much of the hair falls out when playing with it. The hair itself is nice and soft though. My kids are definitely enjoying playing with our raccoon, who we've named Rocky.

Stellar deal for this awesome puppet!  I bought this to work at a children's hospital and the kids loved it.  Now my kids love it.  I plan on buying more of these puppets.

My grand kids love these puppets.  Together they pretend to own a farm and take care of the animals.  They are soft and small enough for the 2 year old to safely use with adult supervision (because the eyes could be bitten off).

Big hit with the grand children and love the portable nature of the theater.  They have spent many happy hours directing and performing their puppet shows.  The theater was fairly easy to assemble and materials seem sturdy as is true with all  Melissa and Doug products.  This probably my favorite toy line for young children.

My 6 year old son (who will be 7 in March) loves finger puppets so I got this as a stocking stuffer for Christmas.  He loves it.  The puppet is made of a rubber type of plastic material... Or at least that's what it feels like to me.  It's hard,  but not overly hard.  His little fingers fit inside perfectly and even my fingers are able to fit (my wedding ring size is a 4.5; I have small fingers).  This puppet is very small  (roughly from the tip of my index finger w/o a nail to the middle knuckle) so it most likely will get lost like his other puppet did (I usually always find it though).  I would get this again.  Great as party bag gift also.

My kids love these little puppets. We have had them for nearly five years and they are holding up great. We have washed them many times and play with them often. Great puppets for sure!

I bought this for my 3-year old. She kept saying how she wanted puppets for her birthday. These are soft and well constructed. I really wanted puppets that had mouths that moved and this was a great choice.

This is a really nice puppet set up.  I've created a theme box around owls and it fits in perfects for my preschool.

This is one of my son's favorites! :) The little toys are just his size to fit in his little hands, but not so small that I am worried about him putting it his mouth and chocking on them.

Absolutely adorable puppets & thick knit quality.  We have had this one for over two years and it has completely held up despite being the toy of a now 3 1/2 year old boy.  In fact, he asked for another puppet just like "Mr. Silly Man" recently.  So, I just ordered one for our little girl so "Mr. Silly Man" can have a friend.

As a Puppet Director, I am always looking for new puppets. These puppets are very well made and easy to manipulate. The mouth is nicely constructed so that it really does function like a puppet unlike some others that I have encountered where it hurts your hand to move the mouth. I recommend these to everyone especially new puppeteers because of the ease in which one can manipulate the mouth.

As for size, they are not the biggest puppet out there but for our purposes, they work just fine. We work in a room that runs about 50' from the front of the stage to the back of the room. For us, the puppet is large enough that it does not get lost from the back of the room. For us, I believe that the puppet itself runs from the top of an adult hand to a little past the elbow. (The product description states 16 inches.)

The kids in Junior Church love it when these "monster puppets" come to sing or tell a story. I am impressed with the quality and price. In fact, we have enjoyed working with them so much that we are purchasing other designs to round out our collection.

My son loves this puppet. However, it is very hard to move the arms and mouth at the same time (as an adult) as the mouth hinge is a little still. All in all, well made and lots of fun.

This has been one of the few toys that my son actually plays with for more than a week.  He can be seen carrying around his tools on a very regular basis and this is easily one of his favorite toys.  If your children have shown any interest in tools, then this is a pretty nice set that ours have loved for a while now.  Would definitely recommend it.
