Folkmanis Baby Dutch Rabbit Hand Puppet

If you are looking for a high quality puppet, look no further. My girls love their "bun buns"

Super soft and very cute bunny. My mom got it to have when kids came over to her house and ended up giving it away because a friend’s child loved it so much so I ordered her another one.

Puppet is adorable and easy for a kid to use. It isn't cheap, but you get the quality you are paying for. Was a well-received gift for a grandkid. (And no batteries required!) This is the 3rd Folkmanis puppet I have purchased and I haven't been disappointed.

Adorable and lifelike

At Christmas I ordered this puppet sent as a gift and never saw it myself. I needed another baby gift and this time had one sent to me. My husband was home when I opened it and his first comment was that it looked a little "scary." It's not "cute" in that it lacks the exaggerated features usually associated with advertising cuteness: no large eyes, pink nose (no nose at all), smiling mouth (no mouth at all). The nose and mouth are "implied" by the sewing seams, and the mouth seams on this face make the bunny look very sober:( It is interesting how small details influence what makes things seem appealing - like in the photo on Amazon, the bunny's ears point backwards a bit, he has two string-like whiskers located right next to the nose, and the light fur rimming the eyes is distinctly tapered at front and back, creating a characteristic eye shape. Of course, even stuffed animals sewn from identical patterns have variations, so it's not such a big deal, but the bunny I got has straight-up ears that look like exclamation marks, the light eye fur is round which gives a very different look to the face, and the whiskers are attached all the way back near the eyes so that they don't even look like whiskers. Also, the whiskers are made of that stiff, clear nylon and they are curved up over the eye on one side, so are a true change from the puppet pictured on Amazon. My husband noted that the whiskers seem like they might poke little eyes. That said, it's still a really sweet little puppet when brought to life through manipulation, and I like it. Someone else's review noted that these are not infant toys. I missed seeing that when I ordered the first one, and the warning "Ages 3 and up" is printed on the cloth tag which is sewn inside the puppet, not easily seen. Would I order another one? Probably, yes. I hope he will find a happy home with the family he's going to. 3/21/16 UPDATE: Last summer, I had occasion to visit the family this little bunny went to. The little girl, now three, LOVES this puppet and her parents told me it has been one of her cherished special toys. It had clearly seen lotsa lovin'!

Too cute bunny puppet for play .its so soft it’s easy to hold and any kid will love this soft furry little bunny .great value for puppet.it look life like too

I love this little bunny. It looks almost alive when I put in on my hand and use it for story times at the library. The kids, and the adults, as well, seem to be enchanted by it's lifelike qualities, and how soft it is to the touch. I love Folkmanis puppets! I have several and have not been disappointed, by anyone of them, yet. I am considering buying the larger-sized one so I can have a mother and a baby rabbit to use for my upcoming Mother's Day Story Time.

I've played with the bunny with my cat since he was about 8 weeks old. He carries it around the house and even tries to make it eat and drink! I've come home and found the bunny face down in the car food bowl, with a slightly damp nose from "drinking" prior to being "fed". "Bunny" is his absolute favorite!
