Aurora® Interactive Hand Puppet Petey™ Stuffed Animal - Storytelling Adventures - Playful Learning - Multicolor 12 Inches

Very cute puppet, also can be a stuffed animal. A bit hard for use with an adult size hand but should be fine for a child. Also the pictures don’t show it but she comes with a pink bow on her neck as well. All the stitching was good and no major defects.

These puppets are perfect for my preschool classroom. They are high quality and easy for the children to manipulate. They are very cute and have become important classroom friends. They are a great tool for our quiet corner where the children can take a break and sort out big feelings.

I bought this puppet for our puppet theater, and my grandchildren love him.He is colorful, soft, and his beak is easy to manipulate to make him speak. His eyes are well-placed. HIs feet are adorable.My 11-year old granddaughter especially likes to make up puppet skits as she goes along.In the last skit, fearful and sad Petey was worried about his wing, which he thought was hurt.Practical Donkey (another puppet) came with his stethoscope and other doctor's tools to see what he could do. After a shot, knee reflex testing, heart exam, and temperature, Donkey decided Petey wasn't hurt at all but was assuming too much and needed to think things through instead of assuming the worst. Donkey then put a bandaid on Petey to make him feel better. Petey was happy until he realized the bandaid had fallen off. After being reassured by Donkey that he was fine but just needed to exercise, Petey decided to do some foot exercises. The skit ends with Petey back to feeling fearful, saying he will probably trip doing his exercises and get hurt and "die."Now my granddaughter has another skit planned featuring Donkey and Petey to continue the saga ...For a grandmother, watching the skits has been delightfully entertaining as well as interesting.. I often video them on my phone for the kids to watch afterward. This helps them to see how they can use the puppets more effectively to tell their stories.I would definitely recommend Petey for both adults and children. My hand fits well into his beak, too, unlike some puppets which have mouths that are too small for adult hands. In addition, I have been known to use Petey to speak to the 4-year old, who speaks back to him, even though she knows he's only a puppet. Or is he?

This is great for wrestling with my cat without getting my hands shredded. It gives my cat strength training and gets him nice and tired. After that, some cat-chase toys can be used to give him something to run and jump around after, so he ends up with both kinds of exercise under his belt. The puppet is robust enough to handle my cat’s punishment. I wish there were more puppets like this one.

My 4-year-old grandson loves hand puppets and he is quite good at making them talk and move. This snow leopard is very soft and I thought it was too adorable to be vicious, but he was so excited when he saw it today, he immediately made it growl and attack his sister's cat puppet.It's great for a small hand but my adult hand/fingers barely fit. Also, the mouth does not move on this one.I also got them the parrot, the sloth, and the pterodactyl which do fit a child or adult hand better as they are a more traditional type of hand puppet. The mouths on the parrot and the pterodactyl do open and close. The pterodactyl is soft but not fuzzy like the other puppets.These puppets are well made and I think they will be loved and played with for a long time. I will probably be buying more Aurora hand puppets.

Wonderful for playing with my toy breed dogs. Well made, nice & fuzzy. Kids will love it, too.

This puppet is made very nicely! Doesn't look like a puppet , looks more like a stuffie, which is an added bonus ! My Granddaughter loved it !!
