"These are really cute and very sturdy. My daughter hasn't been very interested in them though. We had other puppets before these, and she likes them a lot more. These ones don't do very much. They're mouths don't talk - even a 1 year old can do that - and they are very stiff, so they don't really move at all. I'd say, if you want puppets - these aren't the ones. If you just want something cute to go in the room, these are cute."
