I'm a psychology professor and do research with children. I purchased these puppets to use with children in my projects. At this price, I didn't expect extremely high quality puppets. However, when they arrived, I was rather surprised at the shoddy quality. In particular, the puppets are much smaller than I'd imagined - more like finger puppets, as the arms are essentially functionless.

Furthermore, the female puppets are clearly wearing dresses; thus their bodies appear to be full-length. However, the male puppets seem to end at the waist. When I unpackaged them, one of my graduate students stopped by and asked why the father was wearing a pink dress! These puppets have been used with children a few times in my lab, but they have been mostly uninterested in them. I can't blame them! Next time I'll splurge and buy better puppets.
