## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these have nuts/ or made around items with nuts?**
A: No. They are perfect for a two year old.

**Q: What are the eyes made of?**
A: The eyes are hard plastic that is very tightly attached. I believe they are safe and a child would not be able to get them off.

**Q: Do  they  make  a  lion?**
A: This set includes elephant, tiger, parrot, giraffe, monkey, and zebra - there is no lion hand puppet in the set.  We do have a puppeteer puppet where you use one hand to manipulate the puppet's mouth and facial expressions, and the other to gesture with the wooden arm rod.  That puppet is our Rory puppet #2568.

**Q: Will these fit adult hands?**
A: Yes they fit on large adult woman's hand.  Tight for a larger male

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun puppet set, easy for toddlers to use
*by H***N on January 2, 2026*

This is such a cute puppet set! My son (17 months) loves playing with them, and he has an easy time putting them on his hands by himself. I also thought it was cool that the packaging pops apart to make a mini puppet theater. My only complaint is that the mouths don't move.
