It's not clear to me. They are loved, but they are not perfect

Selected User Reviews For Melissa & Doug Safari Buddies Hand Puppets, Set of 6 (Elephant, Tiger, Parrot, Giraffe, Monkey, Zebra)
The puppets look decent and I jumped at the opportunity to order them because the brand is known, but I wasn't aware that the puppets don't have mouths. That's kind of like what puppets are basically for, isn't it? These are cute but my daughter doesn't care for them much because they don't have mouths. Maybe it's just me, but I was disappointed to see that there were no mouths.
The body of the puppet is very short and there is no hole to support the head. I wear a medium-sized glove that barely fits inside. My hand barely fits inside the glove. In other words, this causes a bobble in the head. As well as my child, I found it difficult to use. The quality is definitely not that of Melissa and Doug it feels like it was manufactured offshore to save on costs. The hand puppets I purchased from them will not be purchased from them in the future.
I am amazed at the quality of the puppets. They are exactly what I expected. Putting on puppet shows with them will be a blast for the kids.
I was very disappointed in this product, as my daughter loves puppets and we do this together all the time. I love it when she wears a puppet and we talk to it together. Due to their small size, these puppets are quite difficult to manipulate! Those sizes are perfect for a four year old but are not suitable for my seven year old's hands, and they are definitely not suitable for adults. We play with them, but they fall right off my hand. That takes away from their appeal. If the size issue is not solved, I would not recommend and would not buy again.
These puppets are fabulous, and my little ones love them as well! The set I found on Amazon was one of the best values I found. I had no idea puppets were so expensive until I looked on Amazon. It was also nice to see a variety of animals. There are only a few complaints though, namely, the fabric used isn't quite strong enough, so there are some holes in some of them, where the tags are attached, that are only getting bigger as time goes on and will probably need to be stitched.
The head part of this puppet stays up while your hand is in it because the top is stuffed. My grandchildren love these puppets. Those are very soft and my grandchildren play with them all the time. It is a delight to see them. There would be no problem with buying another set if more animals were available ) I am very pleased with my This is an awesome toy for kids. I wish there were more like it!.
It's not just where they were attached, there is a bigger problem. My only thought is that all the animals seem angry and hostile, as if they're very angry and hostile. Can they be made to look friendly and smiling?.
They will be used as table decorations at a baby shower themed in safari. The moms loved them and they made for a great mommy-daughter entertainment If she were given them as gifts to take home, she would love them. Their workmanship is good and their colors are attractive. The only thing I disliked were the plastic ties that held the puppets in the box I had to cut them carefully to free them.
