The Puppet Company - Knitted Puppets -Gloria Hand Puppet [Toy]

Great puppet and my students love it!!!! n

So cute and whimsical! Perfect for a stage show or at home use

Amazing quality and fun colors. Highly recommend.

Looks exactly like the picture...Well made and good size.

These puppets are a great addition to our family puppet shows. We love to act out stories and role play. We started with Carl and now we love Gloria and Dylan. They are perfect for kids aged 5 and 6.

I bought this strictly to annoying my husband. It's perfect. Love her. She does the trick!

I bought this to use for my online English classes. For that purpose it is good, being that it is large and colorful. The glasses on mine are sewn on slightly crooked, but that doesn't matter much for the few minutes that I use it per class. The kids love it, and it seems like it will last a long time.

Gloria is a huge hit in our house. Made of good materials. Even though her face doesn’t move, she’s surprisingly expressive.

J en suis très comptent

E' stato un regalo che ho fatto ad una persona che aveva qualcosa da dire ma non osava. 'Fallo dire a lui'...funziona alla grande. Le notizie che mi arrivano sono che è bellissimo e svolge bene il suo compito.

Its excellent!!! Great colours, brilliant design, definitely recommend, knitted very strongly. My kids loves her!

Excelente marioneta para que una madre o un adulto no solo divierta a los peques, sino que también la utilice como apoyo para educarlos, y hasta para levantarles el ánimo cuando están tristes o enojados. La sonrisa de los niños de 1-5 años y aún mayores ¡no tiene precio! Mi sobrina de 4 años es feliz con su marioneta llamada ‘maestra Glicoria’.

Opening the box to my new puppet I saw what the other reviews meant by the colors being more muted then expected, but I'm fine with that, the knit material its constructed from is more breathable then some of my other puppets, and I'd say it's a good starter puppet, because you don't have to keep track of arms and such, you focus on mouth work. Call me weird but I find her glasses being wonky from shipping adds to her character. Only when you pay top dollar for anything, which this kinda was for a sock puppet, you don't expect it to arrived with noticeable flaws. One of the eyes has a coloring defect, and the mouth plate is a good half inch too big in diameter, causing the (well made) embroidered lips to curl compleatly out of sight, the top one is nonexistent as the lower one is visible only when the mouth is fully opened (see photos). The large ridge of fabric from the internalized lips then makes it impossible to close the mouth enough to use the rather amusing squeaker in the puppet's tongue. I thought no problem I'd be able to shave off some of the plastic on the edges of the mouth plates to 'recover' the lips, along with a lot if this puppet's character (she's already told me she's a bookworm from the library of Alexandra), but the inside finishing is well finished and thus impossible to modify at all. I'm still going to hang our with Mrs. Whosit, working on her personality, as I get over my slight disappointments with what mostly is a fun puppet... I'll just have to find a black marker to fix her eye.
