Oh how I would have loved this squirrel as a child. I have no grandkids yet — only a puppy. But I purchased the squirrel I named Peanut and she loves it. I’ve been practicing how to be a ventriloquist. It’s been a lot of fun for my puppy and me. Peanut is adorable. In fact, I also purchased a tabby cat that hasn’t arrived yet and I’m naming him Buttons. And yes, I’m 72 but I don’t care lol.

Wonderful. I have a 3yr old indoor cat and he's an only child so I play with him a lot. He loves wrestling with puppets and works in those back leg kicks too! He adores this squirrel and I'm sure he thinks it's his new girlfriend. I'll often find him carrying the puppet around the house like it's his kitten even though they are almost the same size.

I think I actually had this same puppet as a kid, as I see they started out in Watertown, MA...Seems to be as good as the one I remember.So purchased as a toy to play with my extra-playful cat, it's been a big hit. Puppet shows for pets work (just watch your fingers if you have a Rottweiler :) ).

Entertains the whole family! My grandchildren love this puppet, (so do I!) Quality product, fair price. We liked this so much that I have now purchased several more of the different puppets from this brand.

I got this as a present for my three year old and he is totally enchanted with it. Really nicely made, so cute and expressive and realistic. The acorn is an especially cute detail that lets the squirrel nibble on a snack sometimes.

I am raising two orphaned grey squirrels for release and therefore, by popular acclaim, will be dressing as Squirrel Girl for Halloween. I ordered this puppet as part of my costume because it's one of the most realistic plush squirrels I could find, and I would know, since two real squirrels are living with me right now. It's considerably larger than an actual squirrel, but an adult human hand needs to fit inside it. It's adorable and very cuddly and I will treasure it as a memento after my foster squirrels are gone.

I purchased this for our production of The Lightning Thief and it was a hit. The puppet was large enough to be seen on stage and also easy enough for our actor to work on. Great puppet for performances!

This squirrel is about life-size, if not a little bigger. He's a truly adorable grey/red cross. The head, lower jaw and arms are moveable. He has a fabric acorn stitched to his right paw. The mouth is moveable, although it's a little fiddly to get the mouth to open and close easily. An adult can only fit one finger in the lower jaw to mobilize the mouth, while keeping other fingers in the arms. He's very cuddly and soft. It's obvious from holding it that it's a high quality item that's been well designed and made. The tail (brush) is *very* high quality and particularly exquisite. The brush is stitched in place, where the base is connected to half his back. Our item is very much as the pictures represent. He has several plastic strand whiskers as well. I'd say he's great for storytelling, teaching, day-care, pre-school, games, etc.. But not sure for professional stage use, as the mouth isn't large enough? The opening is a good size for both adults and children. Kids from 6 to 60 love him! Highly recommended if you're after a grey squirrel puppet. Folkmains also make a red squirrel (https://www.amazon.com/Folkmanis-Red-Squirrel-Hand-Puppet/dp/B003U7C490/). We looked at that but preferred the coloring of this one as it's more variegated and appealing. The red one is more 'plain' chestnut-brown, but very life-like as well.

This thing is wonderful! The perfect gift for a 3 yr old who is obsessed with ‘figgles’. It arrived in time to be her Christmas present, and her face when she opened it was an absolute picture. Mr Squiirrel is a proud member of the family now. Totally adorable. Great product

Great puppet , slighty bigger than a real squirrel and with great detail.you can move the mouth to make the squirrel talk and is easy to use.worth paying extra for such great animated puppet.mine is well used in a preschool, and withstands lots of rough cuddles! The children love him and squeal with delight when he makes a cheeky appearance in the classroom at story time.

Detailing of the squirrel, the range of motion on forearms, even the movement of the lower jaw, are so biomechanically believable I was astonished. It is very easily manipulated by medium sized hand, but may be too large for youngsters to work the arms and head/mouth at same time. The materials and structure are high quality and should be a lifetime purchase. However, I actually ordered this puppet to play interactively with my DOG!!! He loves his toys to be "live" and bite back... This puppet is super high quality and he will be able to carry the squirrel around by any of his appendages for years to come.This puppet will perfectly accompany the Gray Squirrel at Pacific Avenue storybook by Geri Harrington, part of the Smithsonian Institution's Backyard collection. For that reason I will purchase another one for my granddaughter! You will not be disappointed in either the quality of materials, construction, or detailing of this product.
