Folkmanis Funny Frog Hand Puppet

I take my granddaughter to story time weekly at our library. They have a large collection of these amazing puppets. They are very well made and lifelike. Excellent quality

This little guy is very cute. Great buy!

Great quality. This is our 6th folksmanis puppet. Really fun for role playing.

This frog has proven to an invaluable asset at the end of meals. Hops comes out while we clean our little one after each meal. Hes well made and can actually fit a rather large hand.

Bought this hand puppet some time ago and it’s still going strong with my grand daughter. She asks for him all the time as it entertains her on our end. He even has a name “Mr. Pickles”. Searched wide and far for the right hand puppet and he is most definitely one of the ones to have.

Great puppets! They are easy to use and in perfect condition! The kids loved them and they made the lesson so much more fun and engaging!

If you like puppets and frogs like i do, do not be deceived. This puppet controls like a wet paper towl slipping on a banana peel. I HATE puppets that use 2 fingers for the hands and the middle 3 for the mouth it is so tedious to move him for more than five minutes at a time. Save yourself and leave this toad in the pond. BUT i do keep him on the coat rack to make him suffer with a wooden pole up his.. well you know.

My grandson is a ten year old, mostly non-verbal autistic, although he has been developing a vocabulary. 18 months ago I got him one of these, we called him Froggy, and he loved it, better than the other Bunch of hand puppets. Problem was, he had three places he played Mom -Dad - Grandmas - and if Froggy was at the wrong home, major meltdown. So I got another one. One would travel with him, the other would stay with grandma. We had done that with Lego toys, and some other things. But they had no personality. Froggy, and Froggy brother, were inseparable, grandpas right hand and left hand. They always traveled with him, but were not animated, did not speak, at mommys or daddys. If you watch the youtube videos with plush toys and puppets you will see they get thrown about constantly. Outside, Froggy gets thrown up into the trees, where he stays, and taunts us, and his brother. One way or another he is retrieved (problem solving occupational therapy). Inside, Froggies are thrown against the wall, beat with a plastic bat, all manors of abuse - and never needed mending. Not even close, no loose seams, none. The plastic eyes are chipped. Early on, they were flying twenty feet in the air, and landing on the driveway. Eventually we avoided pavement, but the damage was done, not that anyone cares. We love our Froggies, warts and all. Grandson does animate Froggy occasionally, but has extra problems making them speak, because grandpa is their alter ego. He told me he is going to get another Froggy at Christmas, and he will make sure he behaves, he will be the alter ego, he will make him talk. Grandpa cant wait for Christmas. I will suggest Froggy Cousin for a name, but the decision is his. Probably a dozen puppets, tons more plush, this is the best materials and workmanship, hands down. Excellent choice of materials. The price is so low, disappointment is not possible. Folkmanis is always first class, best of the best, the other one puppets we have are of equal quality. He has other plush puppets, well made, cost more, and most of them needed mended due to the rough treatment.

This is just so obviously made well and will last. You can get quite a bit of expression and animation out of his face if you dedicate all of your fingers to the mouth. If you opt to manipulate the hands as well, you lose a bit of control in the face, but then you can pick up items, etc. I have pretty large (adult) hands and was concerned that it would be too small. It is just a tad snug (I need to use the other hand to pull it into place.) But once its on, its just fine and not uncomfortable. 5 stars without hesitation. A great value for what was spent too!

My sweet little frog is so fun to have in Sunday School. Her main thing to do is to come out and kick her legs up and sing to bible songs. She also comes alive and rides the cat when I go out of the house but I caught her with a hidden camera. (I went to the craft store to put her in an outfit)
