I chose these puppets because you get a lot of them for the price, and having three little girls I wanted to make sure that they all could have a girl and boy puppet to play with so there would be no arguing. Knowing what company they were coming from, I didn't set my standards too high for them, and I was right in doing so. The puppets hair are very sparse and the fabric is thin, but my children and their friends do not notice this, they are not old enough to be aware of quality made vs. the latter. They are very happy playing with them, and that's all that matters to me! As far as durability goes, I'm not sure. We've only had them for a couple of months. Some hair has pulled out, so we had to talk about being gentle with them. So I guess it depends on how rough the child is playing with them and how often they will be used. Either way, I think it's a great set for the price which can be used in a household or classroom.

These puppets are realistic and fun. They are ideal for teaching social skills and to help shy children feel more comfortable around adults. For the attention seeking child, these are a great positive outlet for this need, since there are many puppets to go around (I believe there are 12) and they are inexpensive to buy, which is especially important for educators just starting out. This is one I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a fun, educational toy that supports creativity and does not have many small parts, a rarity with all the electronic toys so often offered in stores these days...

These puppets are great fun for any young one. I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter and she loves them! They are a good collection of ethnic backgrounds and well made for the price. They are simple enough that a young person can enjoy them as well as an older child.

I bought this set for my daughter for her bday and promptly returned it as soon as I opened the box. The dolls come crammed in a large plastic bag making their sparse hair stand up every which way. They are poorly sewn so their mouths gape open in a frightening manner. Their eyes also don't have pupils only the iris portion. Overall I thought they were quite creepy and decided to go with another brand of puppet all together. I bought them at a great sale price and even then they weren't were the money.

These puppets are sized for children's hands, but too small for adult-sized hands. I'm a school counselor, so they're fine for my elementary kids to use to participate in lessons or counseling activities; but I don't think these would hold up very well as a young kid's toy.

I wanted to make sure that my kids had a variety of puppets to put on a show. This set was the prefect complement to the princess and construction worker puppets they received from Grandma. They are able to role-play and have selected which puppets from this set best match themselves and their closest friends. Many of the other puppets I found were poorly made and some were quite expensive. This was perfect for my 2 and 4 year olds. I love to see them be creative in their play rather than sit in front of the TV. What a great product!

We bought these puppets for our granddaughter's birthday. Although the puppets are larger than her others, she is able to operate them fine. Her little brother(2) also manages to use them. We loved that they are multicultural and so does she. So far they have held up well. It is amazing the different ways the kids find to use them.

It is cheaply made, and a lot of the puppets had sparse hair; some of them are stained. It is a cheap collection, so I was not expecting something wonderful.

I purchased these puppets for my private psychotherapy practice and I wanted a set of puppets that included several races and genders but did not break the bank. This set fit the bill perfectly and I am pleased with the look of the set. I have been happy with these puppets in the near year I have owned them as they have been durable.

My one complaint is that these puppets do not work as easily as some other puppets I have. When you attempt to manipulate the puppet the movement of the hands is awkward, especially for small hands, and this makes it difficult for the user to interact with the puppet and pick things up or grab things using the puppets hands.

I ordered the Happy Kids puppets, the 8 piece set. I ordered these for my granddaughters 7th birthday party. I made a stage out of a large TV box , hung up curtains and had a puppet show for all the kids... They loved it, my granddaughter thought it was awesome and has puppet shows when ever she comes to the house. All the kids said it was the most awesome party that they had been to. The puppet show was a hit, these puppets are durable and colorful and alot of fun...
