Folkmanis Turtleneck Turtle Hand Puppet

Folkmanis delivers a quality toy. We already had a frog and now we have this turtle. Puppets are underrated in todays battery-powered environment. This is an heirloom-quality toy that will help stoke your childs imagination. It is encouraging my toddler to speak and play pretend. It gives us a wonderful way to play together. I dont have to worry about it holding up. It withstands all the play my toddler and my young nieces can throw at it. Its adorable too! I will be buying more as gifts and to add to our collection. Go ahead and order, parents! This is a great one!

This is ridiculously entertaining. My kids loved it.

HILARIOUS. LOTS OF FUN TO PLAY WITH.

I am a teacher and my turtle “friend” has been an important socio-emotional tool for this challenging school year. My students find “Taylor” lifelike and believable and a true friend.

Loved this product. Exactly what I wanted. Bought it for a gift and it was well received. I did think it was a little expensive.

I bought this because I had a class and was given a print out story for the children focusing on good behavior. The web site recommended this puppet to be used along with the Tucker turtle story. The children love Tucker turtle. They hug and kiss him.

Bought this puppet for my teenage daughter who loves turtles when she got her tonsils out. He is a huge hit. The knit turtleneck on this puppet is so cute. You can even pull the neck and front feet into the shell! If you are a turtle lover you need to own this guy.

The actual item looks much darker and smaller than the photo. Also, the shell seems plastic in the photo but is actually a padded, leatherlike fabric. This is actually a good thing because its nice and cuddly. Even the size is better for being small. (Think of a small catchers mitt with a head, legs, arms and tail.) You can either control the head or the forearms but not both at once. When controlling the head you can pull it into the shell, if you hold the back of the shell with the other hand, which is cute. The wizened eyes and expression on mine have a definite Kermit the Frog vibe to me. Different but delightful and will make a great addition to my Sunday School lessons for children.

This puppet was a gift for my son. He saw this turtle puppet in a toy store and fell in love with it. I bought it off Amazon because it was much cheaper. My son LOVES it!!! It is very well made, and so life like. I highly recommend it for anyones puppet collection.

Great puppet for young and old. Move moves easily and front hands. Head comes in and out easily. Ive purchased many other folkmanis puppet and this and the owl are a great find.
