I don't think the pajamas can be taken off. These are so great, though! We read the books to our son, who popped them off his fingers whenever they fell from the bed as they lay there
Made with polyester fibers, these monkey finger puppets look cute and playful.
The monkeys are not five in a row
On adults' fingers, they are a perfect fit. Having a story like this is a hit with children!

For my grandchildren, I got these In addition to being extremely well made and durable, they are also extremely well built. read reviews stating that the shirt was too short on the back, and some people commented exactly the same. Perhaps the monkeys' arms are different now, but the small velcro tabs on their arms enable them to wrap around fingers and attach to each other. In the back, there is no need to place your finger between the shirt and the body. Photos don't do these justice - they actually look much better in person It was already a great photo of them.
The children can play with very small monkeys rather than large monkeys. Despite the fact that this affects the function of the toy, none of it is affected My little one plays with them, especially when they "jump" on the bed, and he actually loves them. These are nicely made, and their small size makes them suitable for toddlers. They also add a nice touch to the storybook/rhyme. I awarded them 4 stars due to the fact that they are not finger puppets.
The young man never stopped playing with them or the book while we were eating at a restaurant. It hit there right on the spot. However, two years after buying the book he still loves the monkeys and the story! There have been a couple of them who have attended every major event, trip, and restaurant in the country with us, while also buying us time and good behavior for our sake! We have a friend whose grandchildren fell in love with those when they visited our home! I bought another set today and am sending the link to her! In the event that you are going to get one set, I would recommend getting two sets and keeping the second set for a gift or "secret replacement" in the case that one of the monkeys should go missing. Here are some tried and true tips from one of these parents! realize some reviewers have commented on the Velcro not holding up, but given the number of times they are used before they give out, There is also a very simple fix grab some "Mega Strength" sticky backed velcro from your local hardware store and peel and stick the strips together Then, glue a small piece to each side right over the original pieces and you are done! It only takes 10 seconds to get back up and running.
The puppets are finger puppets. It is necessary to place your finger through the back of the monkey's shirt. Since they are tiny, they won't be as big as a monkey on your finger).
As part of a storytime/circle time program with a group of 5 year old autistic boys, I bought these to go along with the "Five Little Monkeys" book (Five Little Monkeys Storybook Treasury). It's their favorite thing to do. Unlike pictures attached with Velcro, this is a pleasant change. Our versions of the story include monkeys jumping on a chair, on the head of a truck, and on top of our heads. Toys that do not sell well are not all stuffed toys. There was something wrong with some of the stuffed dogs with faces filled with puppies, and a few kids let me know by saying "no" and These tiny guys are so much fun because the story and images are so clear and recognizable.
I think it's too expensive for the quality of the product. A small set of five stuffed dolls cost $30. One monkey had the same features as multiple others but each of them was different. Clothing fits too tightly, making it difficult to get even a small finger inside without getting stuck. It is not a product I recommend.
This is one of several toys we bought for our nine month old and she's played with it multiple times each It can be a challenge getting them out in the morning since we keep them in their bags. (In plain sight) We place them around the living room and ask her where the monkeys are and she goes and looks for While walks, she likes to throw and hold them (as far as we know, she has never lost one). This is very convenient for her since she's also into multiples of the same thing right now. Besides ikea finger puppets, we also have the ikea finger puppets, but they are smaller and less substantial so she barely touches The monkeys have not yet been used as puppets or with the book/song. Neither of us has been able to have a problem fitting fingers into the puppets. It is true that I have very small.
This is what I got my granddaughter for Christmas because of her love of the story about the five monkeys jumping on the bed. It was fascinating to watch the monkeys jump on my bed and I sent her the video. As she is 2 years old, I am sure she will love them once she opens them up at Christmas. I use chopsticks in the rear pocket to use them as puppets since they are well made.
