Melissa & Doug Farm Friends Hand Puppets

I'm usually a fan of Melissa & Doug toys, but these puppets fall short of a rave review. The puppets are small--I'm barely able to fit my fingers in the arm sockets. Not to mention there's barely any space to make the head move. My dog gets more excited by these non-realistic "puppet" animals than my child. I gave an extra star for the learning and playtime suggestions offered on the packaging and the free shipping deal. We're disappointed.
