Melissa & Doug Safari Buddies Hand Puppets, Set of 6 (Elephant, Tiger, Parrot, Giraffe, Monkey, Zebra) - Soft, Plush Animal Hand Puppets For Toddlers And Kids Ages 2+

I bought these as a birthday present for my 3 year old niece and nephew and they loved them. I also bought a tabletop puppet show theatre so they could do little shows for the family and build their confidence presenting and performing for everyone.Its been magical to watch them perform little shows.The puppets themselves are very well made, nice and soft and so far very durable, even in the hands of small little terrors.Would recommend these to anyone, it's a great alternative to another games consol or electrical toy. It encourages them to perform and use their imagination and for me this is the most important part of any toy you buy. It needs to encourage personal growth, imagination and exploration, even in young children and this is exactly what you get in toys like this.Thoroughly happy with it and would recommend.

Bought these for my grandaughters birthday present. Beautiful and colourful, made with plush materials.

I was very impressed when I opened the box. The puppets are a lot bigger and better quality than I expected.My niece will adore them.

I bought these for my baby nephew as a Christmas present. Apparently he absolutely loves them and finds them hilarious (he is 9months old) They are well made and very vibrant in colour. I searched a while for puppets and these seemed to be the best value for money I could find and wasn’t disappointed.

They looked very cute and easy to use.

I use them to amuse by 18 month old granddaughter especially when reading animal books with her. When talking about the Zebra (or others), to see one pop up over the book always brings a smile from her. They are though a bit small for adult hands, I can only get thumb, index and second figure in but fine for a child.

Let me start by saying I really like the puppets, colours are lovely, they feel well made. Unfortunately they were tied to the box using those little plastic tags and they were so tight that there are little holes in every puppet. I’ve tried to smooth the fur over the holes hoping it would be less noticeable with no success. I’m keeping them as I don’t have time to exchange and I’m sure my grandchildren will love them anyway. I just think that for an item that’s not cheap (£21.99) the packaging shouldn’t be damaging the item.

Lovely soft hand puppets. Bought together with the Bomodoro puppet theatre making a great Christmas present
