14" Maria, Hispanic Mom/Teacher, Hand Puppet

Great puppet. I was happy with the quality and it was exactly as pictured.

My son loves puppets. This was a cute one to add to his collection.

Maria is a good puppet, but her hands stick out as in the photo. I had to braid her hair because it kept getting in her face.

My 3 year old granddaughter and I live 1200 miles apart, so we Facetime almost daily. She has a fantastic imagination, so we “play” on Facetime. When I saw these puppets I knew they would be perfect for us! I got Amy for my granddaughter (who renamed her Doc) and I have Maria. We have had so much fun playing puppets on Facetime! Her 4th birthday is tomorrow, I bought her Katie. I plan to keep adding to our “friends” Besides 5 stars for fun, I’m pleased with their quality and they are adorable.

I'm a small adult woman and my hand fits adequately into this puppet; I'm sure it would fit perfectly for a child's hand. Placement of the yarn hair was done well. Head is slightly larger than the body, for comedic emphasis (Silly Puppets also sells a larger version if you want a bigger body but these 14" ones are best if you want kids AND adults to play with them). Her feet are literally the little black pumps, which is a good idea because they'll never fall off or get lost. Mouth rests in pop-open position - if you do a lot of puppeteering you know how nice that is for improving ease of use. Very good depiction of inner mouth/uvula/tongue inside the mouth (colorful and cute). Dress is removable and skin underneath matches the rest of the puppet - you can visit a Build-A-Bear store at a mall or visit their online store to buy costumes and outfits for this puppet - the puppet's body is a bit small for fitting Build-a-Bear clothing but it's not such a big difference that it doesn't work (I currently have her in a t-shirt and black leather motorcycle jacket that I got from Build-A-Bear; the tshirt is just long enough on her that it's like a little dress). When you buy puppets of this size you can trim off or tuck up the yarn hair and buy "doll's wigs" instead to put on the head; puppets look especially hilarious when they look like they have "people hair"... I haven't measured but this size head is probably around size 11 in doll wig.

Very cute puppet, reminds me of the muppets

Good quality however, I thought it was pricey for a puppet.

She's charming, a bit smaller than I had envisioned but that was my own fault for failing to note the detail.

Its good

An Easter present for my daughter, it didn't realise the size but that's my own fault for not reading the description. I'm sure my daughter will still enjoy though.

Little awkward to get mouth and arms moving together for child’s use but ok for the adults.

Well packaged fast postage very relaible Can only move one handbat a time but will do as my singing exam prop perfectly
