These puppets are constructed beautifully and very inviting to a young child!
My great grandson 2.5 yrs old just loved these!!! They are very well-made, colorful, soft and easy to understand what they are. Fabrics are good and the design is excellent . These guys are really made for fun and the price was very very reasonable for what you get. Puppets my grandson can interact with others in this will be better than a computer or screen, of course!

Perfect for imaginative play – great quality and loved by both kids and adults
This set of safari hand puppets is one of those toys that immediately sparks creativity. From the moment we opened the box, it turned into storytelling, laughter, and full-on little “shows” at home. The variety of animals (elephant, tiger, parrot, giraffe, monkey, zebra) makes it easy to create different characters and stories. It’s not just a toy—it becomes a whole play experience. Even adults can join in, which makes it great for shared playtime. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Melissa & Doug. The fabric is soft but durable, and the stitching feels solid. After multiple uses, they still look great. I also appreciate that they’re surface-washable, which is a must for anything handled this often. Size-wise, they fit both kids and adult hands comfortably, which makes interaction much more natural. That’s something a lot of puppet sets get wrong, but not here.

Soft, cuddly, fun puppets
These hand puppets are so adorable. I love the zoo animals and the quality is perfection. It’s great that you can put them on your hand but they are like cute little stuffed animals too. When I found these at a discount price I immediately purchased but would gladly have paid full price. With 6 puppets in the box, I was able to keep three myself and give three to my daughter-in-law. My grandson loves them. What a great value and would make a unique gift to give too. This is a 5 star purchase all the way!

Great for play and language development
My baby loves watching Baby Einstein, especially the puppets, so l was excited to get these-and they've been such a hit! I love using them to play and encourage his language in a fun and engaging way. The quality is excellent: soft, well-made, and colorful. They fit my hands comfortably, and he enjoys exploring them too. I do wish the puppets could open their mouths-it would add more expressiveness-but aside from that, the design and details are fantastic. Highly recommended!

Super cute, but definitely made for kid hands
Super cute! I got them for my kids to play with my 3 month old, and he seems to enjoy them so far! The arms are a little too high up for adult hands, but seem to work fine for my 10 & 8 year old!

Five Stars — A Worthy Buy!
I purchased the Melissa & Doug Safari Buddies Hand Puppets Set of 6 for my little one and it has quickly become a favorite in our household. The set includes fun safari animals (elephant, tiger, parrot, giraffe, monkey, zebra) that are soft, cuddly and sized for both kids and adults. What I love: Great for imaginative play: My child loves putting on puppet shows and exploring different voices and stories with these characters. Quality build: The puppets are washable, made of durable fabric and hold up really well even with regular play. Amazon +1 Versatile for ages: Although made for kids 2 +, they also fit my hand comfortably so I can join in the fun — perfect for bonding time. Value pack: A full set of six animals means we have multiple characters to mix and match, making playtime more varied and engaging. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a high-quality, engaging puppet set that encourages pretend-play, storytelling and creativity, this one delivers. My child uses it daily and it’s already added a lot of joy to our playtime. Definitely five stars!
