Mol Handpop

My three-year-old carries this little guy everywhere since it arrived. The moveable hands are great for grabbing tiny toys, and the large arms make it easy for her to actually work the puppet without struggling. Sturdy enough for daily classroom-style play, too.

My three-year-old won't put this guy down since it arrived. The moveable hands are perfect for her pretend digging games, and the snout gives him so much personality during story time.

I was a little worried the 8-inch size would be too small for my son's hands, but those large arms and moveable hands are perfect for him to make the mole dig through the air. The big snout is adorable, and it's already become the star of our bedtime stories.
