This Carlos puppet from Silly Puppets is absolutely fantastic for both beginners and experienced puppeteers! Standing about 25 inches tall, he's a full-body puppet with an incredibly easy-to-move mouth that won't strain your hand during long performances. The poly-fill stuffing makes him lightweight at just over a pound, so he's comfortable to operate for extended periods.
What's really cool is the included metal arm control rod - it clips onto the puppet's hand so you can create realistic arm movements and gestures. This is the same type of technology used in professional puppetry like the Muppets. The mouth operation is simple - just slide your hand into the back slot and open and close your fingers to bring Carlos to life.
He comes completely dressed in removable clothing that fits 18-month infant sizes, so you can change his outfit for different performances. The quality is impressive - he's sturdy enough for regular use in ministry, school shows, theater, or just fun at home. Whether you're putting on a show for kids, using him for therapy sessions, or developing your ventriloquism skills, Carlos is ready to become your new performance partner. Recommended for ages 5 and up, though younger children will love watching older kids or adults bring him to life!
