Folkmanis Ferret Hand Puppet - Realistic Stuffed Animal Toy for Kids & Adults - Perfect for Storytelling, Education, and Playtime Fun

A very realistic and interesting puppet, of a creature not often seen as a plush or puppet. The fur is VERY soft and plush, and the overall coloring is very well done. When being used as a puppet, this body style is at a distinct advantage over many puppets of being able to be held in such a way that the inserted arm is not obvious and gives the ability of portraying a very realistic creature. A bonus, to the fact that it is similar to an actual life-sized adult ferret which adds to the realism.My only real criticism, would be the problem with many of the Folkmanis puppets; the area to manipulate the mouth is very small for adult use, I have small hands and fingers, and it is still somewhat of a tight squeeze. Although, unlike some puppets, this puppet doesn't suffer much from the user only being able to move and twist the upper body, which is sizable and should be accessible to most people's forearms.Overall, one of the most realistic of the Folkmanis puppets, and highly recommended. I purchased it for use as a possible costume prop and I think it will work well, but it would be a good snuggle buddy or conversation piece even if you didn't want it for use as a puppet.
