I have a 1 year old daughter who loves it when I make puppets talk to her. I have really had a hard time finding puppet in the local stores, so I decided to turn to the internet. I used to have some Sesame Street puppets when I was a kid and thought that they were great. So I figured this would be a perfect puppet to use with my daughter.

Here's the thing. The opening into the head of this puppet is too small to get a grown ups hand into and still be able to operate the puppet with any ease. This puppet is easier to operate than the Ernie puppet, (which I also bought) but still pretty difficult.

The overall look of the puppet is good, but it isn't very user friendly. Needless to say, I am pretty disappointed in this product and wish that I wouldn't have bought it.

If you are looking for a puppet to entertain your infant, try checking out Toys R Us. From time to time, I have been able to find some animal puppets that make noise when you use them. My daughter just loves those.

We got 4 of the sesame street puppets for Christmas and grandkids just loved them. They are so soft and well made and the mouths can move so the kids had them talking up a storm. My son also teases and tickles the kids with them which gets my grandson going. My grandson won't part with his Elmo puppet (his favorite). I'd buy them again

I ordered Elmo and Cookie Monster for my grandson's first birthday. Definitely a low tech toy as you talk for it and operate it - allows for some creativity. The only problem is making the mouth move and operating the hands at the same time with one hand. William absolutely loved them - they are much larger than I expected and very soft and cuddly. He loves Sesame Street and wanted to give them many hugs and kisses. I uploaded a picture so you can see how big and cuddly Elmo is.
