GUND Sesame Street Official Cookie Monster Muppet Plush Hand Puppet, Premium Plush Toy for Ages 1 & Up, Blue, 11”

Let me tell you a little about this toy. As far as a resemblance to the actual cookie monster I believe its spot on. The functionality of the puppet is exactely as expected. You can use the hands and the mouth if your skilled enough but the functionality isnt what impressed me. I bought this puppet because a review said that it was quite durable. Well I have used the puppet to play aggressively with my puppy and he has yet to rip it, tear it, or really damage it at all. If you have a toddler or small child you are buying this for then expect for the puppet to remain perfectly in tact throughout your childs entire life. I took it outside and stompped on it just to prove a point to my puppy that fun cant last forever. To my avail no known damage. I have to say overall Im very pleased with my purchase and am thinking about buying all the sesame street characters and putting on a play in my backyard for my neighbors who will never show up. 10/10 would buy again. But ill never have to because this puppet will last forever. Long after humans have left this earth my cookie monster puppet will roam the lands bringing joy to every puppy/and or child he encounters. Update: My puppy has completely destroyed this puppet. Disregard everything I said

Super cute little puppet. My kid loves it. I initially bought it to incorporate it when teaching or introducing a new subject., however, its basically involved in all aspects of play. Definitely keeps the attention from swaying back to something like the iPad. Its pretty durable as well. I ve washed it twice in the washer machine.

Crecí viendo al Cookie Monster y pr un tema romántico decidí comprar este títere, que ha sido un GRAN ACIERTO!!! Nos ayuda a conectar enormemente en la emocionalidad, empatía y transmisisión de hábitos y valores con mi hijito de 2 años, 100% recomendable

My son loves this puppet. The only thing is that it’s hard to grip at first as the mouth is very sturdy/solid. Takes a bit to break in but my son constantly wants me to play with him with it so it’s a great puppet for that reason alone.

The mouth is made with hard plastic instead of cardboard like most puppets so the mouth is a little hard to move for me.. so my 8 year old has a hard time as well... Other than that its made very well and seems like its gonna hold up through a lot of play..

My daughter absolutely loves it. One thing to note is that its not as easy to move the mouth around as some puppets, so your hand will get tired after a while! But I take it to mean it was made very well.

fast service and product was as explained very happy

I love this elmo and my daughter does too. My husband does all the sesame street voices and when he gets going with elmo she lights up. I didnt think of it at the time I bought this, so not really a fault of the product, I only wish he had feet haha oh well my bad.

Pros: quality of the material is good and Elmos expression looks always fun/happy (at least the 1st unit we got in 2009; the 2nd unit we got in 2010 has a thicker neck and the nose is more roundish; the color of the 2nd unit is also more orangish). Cons: Its hard to maneuver hands and mouth at the same time as it is, but I put rolled card paper inside the arms to harden them and make them easier to move. The mouth structure is a hard plastic that is difficult to open/close, but I found that you can use one hand to move the arms and open the upper part of the mouth and another hand to hold the lower part of the mouth. With practice, it works, although it gets me tired after 5 min. The body of the puppet should be stuffed so Elmo would look more realistic when hands are in. It probably wont fit large hands. The 2nd unit we got has a more stuffed head and softer mouth structure plastic. Practice your Elmo voice and have fun!

The red fur is very soft and the puppet is cute but overall it’s less than average quality. The eyes are uneven and not lined up properly. I agree with other reviews about the hard, inflexible mouth that is difficult to manipulate.
