Best Hand Puppets of 2025

"I bought these puppets to entertain my 2-month-old twins, and they took to them right away. They love my silly voices for each puppet! I even got the safari set to add more fun. The quality seems good, and the designs are fantastic!"

"We purchased these adorable puppets for our 10-month-old granddaughter. They are perfect for teaching her animal names and sounds. She enjoys playing with them during Old McDonald songs, and their quality is impressive for the price!"

"My wife and I wanted to make learning words more interactive for our slightly over-a-year-old daughter. These puppets helped her identify animals more easily, and we appreciated the quality. Initially, she was scared of the chicken and cow, but after a few exposures, she loved them all!"

"The build quality is impressive. My 15-month-old grandson loves to explore these puppets by probing, pulling, and even biting them. I was worried he might detach an eyeball, but thankfully, they are safe and not a choking hazard. They're adorable, and he can recognize the animals, which is delightful to see. Watching him mimic their sounds is so much fun! Just a heads-up, as an adult, I found it challenging to get my hand inside to move them, but they're perfect for toddlers who will enjoy pretending to animate the puppets."

"I ordered these puppets for my grandchildren, and I was thrilled with the great quality and super fast delivery. I can’t wait for them to open their presents on Christmas morning because these puppets are just too adorable!"

"My kids are absolutely smitten with these puppets. I must admit, I'm not a fan of puppets myself—they kind of creep me out. However, my kids have been eager to play with puppets ever since they attended a puppet show for Halloween. Despite my preferences, I searched for the least creepy options, and these fit the bill. From the moment we opened the box, my kids loved them! They're soft, cute, and well-made. The design allows for their three middle fingers to fit, with the pinky and thumb in the arms. Thankfully, there are no mouths to move, so they just nod. The kids have been carrying them around and putting on spontaneous puppet shows. They've even tried to stretch them by pulling, stuffed them with toys, and played rough, but these puppets have held up remarkably well, showing no signs of wear. Overall, they’re cute, durable, and not creepy at all!"
