Editorial Review

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

The interesting fact sheet that Folkmanis always includes with their puppets tells us that this Ladybug puppet (winner of a Parents' Choice Award) is one of 5,000 species of ladybugs worldwide. Ladybug is red, as she should be to warn predators. Her fleecy soft body is filled with firm foam. Manipulate her on her underside with a black velveteen glove (cleverly designed with two thumbs for both left- and right-handed puppeteers) that serves as her legs. This is a simple, well-made puppet worthy of its award. --Sandy Hirsch

My five year old son loves to talk to "lady buggy" as I crawl around him with my fingers in 5 of her 6 legs. She's held up through sharing his powdered-suger doughnuts and falling in the tub. Just a lovely little puppet.

Both my children have enjoyed the story by Eric Carle "The Very Grouchy Ladybug." Having a ladybug puppet just enhances it and makes it so much more interactive. And it was a hit when my son took the puppet and book to school to share with his teachers and friends!

I love the quality of puppets this company makes. I also have their turtle.
It's very cute and my infant loves it. I feel very comfortable in letting her "chew" on it with no risk to her. It is for an adult hand, my 3 year old son doesn't use the glove part.
