As an Occupational Therapist, I use this toy frequently to teach dressing skills to the children with whom I work. They have so much fun piecing the snake together that they forget they are learning to manipulate fasteners in the process. The head of the snake is a hand puppet, and the soft, colorful body pieces are both large and durable, making them easier to manipulate. My elementary school-aged children of all ages request "Snakey" again and again. This educational toy is definetly worth the money!

We purchased this toy for my daughter for her birthday and she adores it. He is a wonderful teaching tool as well as being loads of fun as a puppet, however I have had to sew the seams back together in various places within days of purchase. Great item just not the most durable.

Snakey Skill Building Puppet by Pockets of LearningWe were so excited to find such an innovative skill building toy, gave it to our grand-daughter for her birthday, but immediately found that the zipper was impossible for even an adult to work plus the fabric it's made of was ripping away at various seams! Not durable at all, not worth the money, a big disappointment.

I work as an OT in the school systems. My students often are working on clothing fasteners...usually rather dreary practice. Snakey has been a huge hit, as he can take himself apart, scatter his pieces, and still keep on talking with the students. They have so much fun finding his pieces, and reattaching the puppet. It makes the fastener practice a highlight of the session for many kids.
