How the Puppet Works
You insert your hand into the puppet's body cavity. Your fingers go into the upper jaw, and your thumb goes into the lower jaw, allowing you to open and close the velociraptor's mouth. This simple mechanism makes it easy for children to mimic dinosaur roars, chomps, or even have the puppet “eat” toy objects. The mouth opening is wide enough for small props or pretend feeding.
Is This Puppet Safe for Young Children?
Yes, it is recommended for all ages. The lock-washer eyes prevent them from becoming detached, and the bean pellets are securely sealed inside. No small parts pose a choking hazard. However, as with any plush toy, adult supervision is advised for infants and toddlers to ensure safe play.
What Material Is the Puppet Made From?
The outer shell is a soft, plush fabric that feels pleasant to the touch. The inner lining is smooth to make hand insertion easy. The bean pellets are encased in an inner fabric pouch to prevent leaks. While the specific fiber content is not listed, the material is described as “finest quality” for lasting use.
Common Questions About This Puppet
Can the velociraptor's mouth really move?
