This is one of the Christmas presents I bought my grand daughter aged nearly 2. This toy is recommended by manufacturers for a child age 3 and upwards.
This is a really gorgeous glove puppet. The Rabbit is a very soft brown fur; really cute has a lovely expression on its face. It has two arms which is where your /Childs can put an individual finger 3 fingers go into the head space. The rabbit can be made to move head mouth and arms. Now the thing that is so great about this rabbit is its hiding in a lettuce about 5 soft green leaves are around the rabbit and the rabbit can be made to hide in the lettuce and then pop out. Each of the lettuce leaves has a small price of Velcro which holds it back when you are not using the puppet and if you peel back a leaf you will find a mini beast finger puppet. There are 6 finger puppets a bee, a slug, 2 caterpillars, a ladybird, a butterfly. These are good puppets quite lifelike. These are also mostly made of a fur fabric.
These puppets will fit a small adult hand and fingers; they are not too big to swamp a Childs hand. They are soft and comfortable to put on a hand. When you pop the rabbit out of the lettuce this toy measures 13 inches tall. The finger puppets are a good size too will fit onto my little finger maybe just onto some of the others. The finger puppets fit onto a child's finger they are not too big so they fall off.
This rabbit is suitable for imaginary play and will help/motivate a child to develop movement in their fingers. (We use glove puppets at school for this with pupils who have little movement in their hands.). This toy is also made of a lovely feeling fur and the leaves are sponge , so it is good as a tactile toy to awaken senses. This rabbit can be used as a prop at story time. It will help develop a child's imagination and story telling.
. My grandson 5 enjoyed playing with it my granddaughter too she at two maybe a little young for it but she was happy with rabbit on her hand and jumped the rabbit around. I think she will grow into this toy.
