Editorial Review

Make a little monkey business with this gorgeous puppet, whosethick, lush coat and tail are made of contrasting browns. The puppet'shands, feet, ears, and face are made of a dark beige fabric, and hisnose is perched atop his oversize mouth, the inside of which is a darkerbrown. Large plastic button eyes finish off his expressive face. Thepuppeteer's hand is inserted through the bottom of the body, and fingersfit in the upper arms and mouth. Wonderfully detailed, this monkeypuppet is 23 inches long and 8 inches wide. Surface washable with coldwater. --Peggy Etra ... Read more

Pulling the monkeys tail?
We represent PETA.Last time we checked, it was not nice to pull a monkey's tail.This is extremely disturbing news to us.Monkeys, whether they are real or fake, need love all the same.Please be nice to the monkeys.Do not let your little brats pull on their tail.Instead, give them sugar cubes.Monkeys like sugar cubes.Thank you for attention to this matter.

Cute monkey
My music teacher Had a puppet (a monkey)and the whole class loved it. The name was EGABDF (notes of the staff). Onen day my friend called me and told me were to find EGABDF (here on computer) so I bought it. We both named them after the real EGABDF (she got it for her birthday before I orded it). Since they have the same name we decided mine would be girl hers would be boy. So for short mine is Ega and hers is Egg. I love this puppet and I am 11 years old.

Best Puppet Maker I've found
We have several Folkmanis puppets including this monkey.My kids (both preschoolers) have been playing with this toy off and on for over a year and a half. It shows very little wear. Their favorite game is "pull the monkey's tail" which should tell you how durable it is.The fur is wonderfully soft, it's easy to make it come off as expressive.It is a little large for small hands to work....I have been so pleased with the quality of this company's product that I don't mind spending a little bit more or searching for them. ...

Great addition to the Marine Set
My daughter wanted to add on to the Marine set that she got for her birthday and she was not disappointed.They all spin together when attached although the connection does come loose often and you have to keep pushing them back together.Other then that she has enjoyed this little addition to her set. ...

Editorial Review

Puppets nurture the imagination, inspire creativity, develop interactive play, and expandlanguage. This reviewer has found them to be excellent tools for teaching foreign languages--children willcomfortably experiment when manipulating a puppet, but not when simply talking to a friend. As childrenmature, they are able to use puppets in a more sophisticated manner that will help them last a good longtime.

Snowy Owl is well made and true to form with her white and gray spotted fur. The texture of herleather beak and talons gives her an air of authenticity, and her large glass eyes ringed with thick white furwon't miss a rodent. A plastic stick inside Snowy Owl's body lets you rotate her head 360 degrees. With awingspan of 22 inches, she will play a prominent role on the puppet stage. --Sandy Hirsch ... Read more

I Love Snowy Owls!
She is one of the cutest toys that I ever got in my whole life!She looks real, and she looks just like Harry Potter's owl, Hedwig.

Fun puppet... actually quite awesome
I bought this one and the Emperor Penguin puppet for my baby... she loves them both.

The owl is awesome, soft... the head rotates all the way around via a stick inside.I can maneuver the wings and head at the same time with one hand, which really entertains my daughter.

Cuddly and interactive
This snowy owl is a part of my plush/puppet collection, and I don't regret the addition. The head can be turned and the wings flapped with your hand, and patches of velcro allow the wings to be folded back realisticly when not spread. The material is very soft, and the beak and talons are leather, not plastic. My only nitpick is that the feet have only three claws, when they should have four. However, this small inaccuracy shouldn't stop anyone from adding it to their collection. ... Read more

Very Disappointed!
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday, and was not the same basket that was pictured.Contained 2 pieces of chocolate cake and different cookies and also contained a glass of milk.

Totally Entertaining
I recently bought this for a three year old and it was definitely the hit of the party.All of the kids, both boys and girls, couldn't get enough of it.The items look so real.It is well worth your money!

It's educational fun and despite the color boys love it too
What kid doesn't love junk food or going the bakery? I bought the set for my son two boys for Christmas this past year. They absolutely love to play kitchen and it also keeps them out of mine. When they got it, they ripped right into it.Never once have they said anything about the basket being pink or the items too girlish. The picture is slightly misleading in the one piece of the cake but I really didn't notice til I read the other reviews and in all fairness it still doesn't really matter to me, the company can change it and that would be the right thing to do, but it's not a reason to be alarmed about. I have bought the other sets like the Picnic and the Fruits and Veg. onein the past so I knew the "blanket" was plastic and just tossed it away. The size of the doughnuts and cake are great and I'm actually thinking of buying a few more sets to complete the wedding cake since my boys love to pretend to cut things up. Once you get started on one set you'll love it some much you want the others. I do recommend you get them. My oldest who is 4 hardly knew and apple from and orange except for when he was looking right at them at age 2, his borther however being 2 now can come right out and say what it is he wants because I use the items to teach him was different foods are.This it a great product and I'm so glad I got it for my boys. ...

Editorial Review

Even if this set of pretend play food did not, strangely enough, have the power to talk, it would still make for a fine way to have some imaginative fun. Included are all the fixings of a great breakfast, but done up in plastic so they never go rotten. You get a carton of milk, a stack of waffles, a box of cereal, breakfast muffin, bacon and egg in a frying pan, and a spatula. When the food items are connected to the Fisher-Price Magicook kitchen, they say things like "Mmm! Bacon and eggs!" Pretend play is a great way for kids to emulate what they see Mom or Dad doing all the while learning about the world around them. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Great item at a great price
My son has not stopped playing with this since we brought it home.For the price, it is a great quality and works great.It has a turntable inside that turns just like the real microwaves.The accessories that come alone with it are very durable.Can't beat this item for the price!

sucky toy
this toy is really not good. I know cause I used to have one and it wood always be brokeded down. you guys reely shoodin'by this toy cause its ungood.

Great Attention Keeper
My 18-month old son loves this toy! And what a deal at $10. It is quite realistic with a timer and turntable. While the timer is counting down a green light comes on which then turns red when the food is ready. And the included foods are cute and more nutritous items than some other playsets. This really has kept his attention and helped him learn to manipulate the buttons to make the oven work. ... Read more

It's just a hat
Somehow I was expecting a full costume instead of just a hat.Maybe because it appeared along with the other Halloween costume Amazon was selling.The description never said it was just a hat, how about saying "Toddler B-day Cake Hat". Anyway, we still had a little laugh after getting over the fact "it's just a hat."

Talk of the town!
The birthday is the neatest start to a child's special day! The hat is lightweight and fun!My one year old loved the attention she received from family and friends due to the hat! I would definitely recommend it!

BIRTHDAY HAT
Oh my Lord...Please dont buy this hat. I feel sorry for every child that has to be put through the torture of wearing it. It looks so stupid! Its so heavy for the baby, as you can see in the picture that kid is soooo uncomfortable....Tell ya what---YOU wear a stupid hat for your next birthday and tell me how YOU feel! Just cause the baby isnt old enough to tell you to jump off a bridge with that hat shouldnt mean he should have to suffer looking back at pictures of it! ... Read more

Very bed quality
I am disappointed by "My first finger puppet book". The quality of this book could be much better.

A great toy for long rides
we used this on a extended car trip.Each time we took it out the puppets would be involved in a new story.great fun.good durability and bright colours.

Great Mommy and Me time
I love this bc it is interactive and a toy but in a book form. I love that the big puppet fits mom's hand and the little one fits baby's finger ... Read more

Great conversation starter
This phone was given as a gift to my 18-month old (at the time) twin boys. Like all babies/toddlers they love having their own phone. What's great about this phone is that it not only dials and rings, but it provides a variety of greetings and phone messages. I have often found my sons repeating the phone greetings, in the appropriate contexts. A great learning toy.

Can you hear me now????
Super cute, would gave it 5 stars but the face plates are too hard for the younger set to change.

Perfect for a busy toddler
I purchased the cell phone for my 16-month old niece for Christmas.Out of all the gifts she got, this is the one she carried around and kept going back to.She is just starting to talk and would hold it up and say "Hi!" and have her own little conversation.Her Mom thinks its great too, now, she can talk on the "adult" phone without interruption, while the little one talks on "her" phone.She hasn't quite managed the changing of faceplates yet, but is happy with the phone in whatever mode it operates.She drops it and throws it quite often and it has held up quite well. ...

Oh so lifelike in looks, this plump and pillowy plush penguin ismore than a big soft bundle of huggability. Hold him close, put yourhand into the opening in his upper back and make him flap his wings,move his head, and speak (with your best penguin voice). Sure, he standsby himself, a full 13.5 inches tall, balanced on his approximately7-inch-diameter flat bottom, two shiny leatherette flipper-feet, and aplush tail. He's an eye-catching Arctic artifact on shelf or table, buttoo loveable to leave sitting across the room. Pick him up and talk tohim, you can't resist! And though a living, breathing, emperor penguincan stand Fahrenheit temperatures down to minus-100 degrees, this onedoesn't mind cuddling close and cozy under the covers with you. Comeswith interesting facts and a story about the emperor penguin's colors.Surface-washable polyester. --Ava Natov ... Read more

Folkmanis Inc. puppets are the best
My son and I are very lucky because we have almost all of the Folkmanis puppet collection. They are all great, and we really like Penguin. We make up stories or we do stories from my son's library or school books. The kids love to put on shows for us. I put up one of those security cameras with the monitor so they can see themseves and they have a ball. Of course I had to get a puppet house/stage that they use to give shows or even play other games in. It is fun and imaginative for parents and kids.These puppets are VERY well made also. And they are plush and soft, just like stuffed animals, in fact, you have to look hard to find the puppet pocket! Highly recommended for LOTS of fun! I advise getting a few so they can make up characters that can interact. ... Read more

not make correctly
My daughter just loves the video and mat - so as a birthday present received the tutu and slippers. When you look at the tutu- it is just perfect; however, when my daughter puts it on the tuile stands straight up. We have washed it and it still does it. We have come to the conclusion that it is sewn wrong. I will have to take it off and resew it the other way. This was a huge disappointment for my 5 year old. ... Read more

Cured Daughters Vaccum Fear
My almost 2 year old use to scream everytime I got our Vaccum out.A friend suggested I get her a pretend Vaccum so for Christmas I did.At first she was frigtened by it but after seeing one of her friends play with it she came around.Now everytime mommy vaccums Hannah does too.This toy is a lot of fun and helps teach the importance of helping mom with housework.

I don't know what the other review is talking about!
My 2 year old daughter received this vacuum as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loves it!Not only is it a vacuum cleaner, but it also has a dustbuster mounted on the unit that easily disconnects with the help of a parent.My daughter likes to use her vacuum and "help mommy" everyday. It is easy for her to push around the house and "clean" all the carpets.It kept her occupied for 45 minutes today!!The unit makes a realistic vacuum sound, but isn't so loud that it becomes a nuisance.It doesn't actually vacuum the carpet, but I didn't purchase it with the intent of teaching her the value of a tidy house.I am just thrilled by how proud she is of herself when she says,"Mommy, I'm cleaning!"Price wise, this toy is less expensive than many other flashy, less durable vacuums.My theory is,"Why buy the flashiest, most expensive toy when your kid is going to play with the box."

Not worth the $$$
I passed up on several other vaccuums to get my son this one and it is just boring.Barely makes a loud enough sound that hardly sounds like a real vaccuum.The beads that spin on the hand held part are just as boring (could have been more spinny, more colorful)and it lacks a button on the side so child can push down with foot to angle it so child can "vacuum".Pretty lame especially considering that it's pretty expensive. ...
