Folkmanis Gray Squirrel Hand Puppet, 1 EA

This was a humorous gift for a squirrel hater and he absolutely loved it. Very well made and really cute. It is proudly displayed in the house and the kids love to play with it. Great puppet that is very realistic. It is a good size and easy to manipulate.

This squirrel is about life-size, if not a little bigger. He's a truly adorable grey/red cross. The head, lower jaw and arms are moveable. He has a fabric acorn stitched to his right paw. The mouth is moveable, although it's a little fiddly to get the mouth to open and close easily. An adult can only fit one finger in the lower jaw to mobilize the mouth, while keeping other fingers in the arms. He's very cuddly and soft. It's obvious from holding it that it's a high quality item that's been well designed and made. The tail (brush) is *very* high quality and particularly exquisite. The brush is stitched in place, where the base is connected to half his back. Our item is very much as the pictures represent. He has several plastic strand whiskers as well. I'd say he's great for storytelling, teaching, day-care, pre-school, games, etc.. But not sure for professional stage use, as the mouth isn't large enough? The opening is a good size for both adults and children. Kids from 6 to 60 love him! Highly recommended if you're after a grey squirrel puppet. Folkmains also make a red squirrel (https://www.amazon.com/Folkmanis-Red-Squirrel-Hand-Puppet/dp/B003U7C490/). We looked at that but preferred the coloring of this one as it's more variegated and appealing. The red one is more 'plain' chestnut-brown, but very life-like as well.

I got this as a present for my three year old and he is totally enchanted with it. Really nicely made, so cute and expressive and realistic. The acorn is an especially cute detail that lets the squirrel nibble on a snack sometimes.

SO FUN & FUNNY. SO SOFT!

I am going to brag about this one because I have had a lot of Folkmanis puppets and they are made of the best quality.

Love it - super cute and soft! The kids in Sunday School loved her too… a big hit. Folkmanis puppets are amazing!

Entertains the whole family! My grandchildren love this puppet, (so do I!) Quality product, fair price. We liked this so much that I have now purchased several more of the different puppets from this brand.

I am raising two orphaned grey squirrels for release and therefore, by popular acclaim, will be dressing as Squirrel Girl for Halloween. I ordered this puppet as part of my costume because it's one of the most realistic plush squirrels I could find, and I would know, since two real squirrels are living with me right now. It's considerably larger than an actual squirrel, but an adult human hand needs to fit inside it. It's adorable and very cuddly and I will treasure it as a memento after my foster squirrels are gone.
