Sturdy construction. Zippers are sturdy. Works as described. Using with small children to demonstrate monarch butterfly cycle. Soft, colorful.

Mon fils adore les papillons et l'évolution et cycle de vie. Il est en admiration sur sa peluche qui ce change en chenille et chrysalide. Hyper heureuse pour lui.

Der Schmetterling ist unhändlich und die Augen wirken gruselig und unheimlich. Die Farben des Schmetterlings sind allerdings schön leuchtend und kräftig. Der Schmetterling geht umgehend zurück.

Aufmachung süß, aber für meine Zwecke ( Kindergottesdienst) viel zu klein gewesen und im Vergleich dazu auch teuer.

die Kinder lieben es! Habe dies im Zusammenhang eines Projekts “Raupe wird zum Schmetterling” genutzt. Tolles Utensill!

Meine Frau braucht es für den KindergartenZum Darstellung was wird aus eine RaupeWunderbar super Qualität.

Purchased these as gifts for a few teachers of kids K-2. Great quality, excellent teaching tool. A huge hit with the recipients.

Wie immer von der Marke Topqualität wunderschöne tolle Farben tolle Stoffe sieht aus wie echt wir sind einfach nur begeistert haben schon ganz viele Produkte von Folkmanis

Let me start by saying we have SO MANY of these Folkmanis (and other) puppets. Tying it into a soon to be butterfly unit in our homeschooling, and thought this was going to be just absolutely perfect based on reviews and such, because how cool is it to have a transforming butterfly puppet?!It's beautiful - absolutely no doubt, 5/5 stars originality as well. The material is soft, and it's big! The wings are floppy and soft, very easy for even my huge hands to fit in and play with. The detail in the wing pattern and the eyes used, not to mention the little hairs, are so adorable. The chrysalis stage is rather basic, but I liked the thoughtfulness of the little hook added to the top so one could hang it like the real thing if so desired. The caterpillar stage is also adorable. Fat, chunky, but basic, with the two sets of hair/antennae on either end. The shape is really like a colorful lump though, no legs but the pattern is identifiable so I don't think most people would mind.The problem comes into the execution of the transformations of the product. The more I worked with it myself, the easier it became to transform as I had to learn how to push things in and where. One cannot just stuff the butterfly wings into the pouch and expect it to zip up properly without a hitch. There is absolutely zero wiggle room in this thing in terms of folding it up and being able to zip it up. Thankfully I had my son to test it out in terms of how easy it was to transform. He loved it! So he REALLY worked at it, but it was still quite a struggle, and this kid's fine motor skills are pretty advanced, so it wasn't just that. It was truly a struggle. In the end I forsee the frustration of the child trying to transform themselves, and the frustration of the parent being asked to constantly stop to have to do it themselves. This product is perfect for classrooms and nature centers, makes a fantastic teaching tool. But unfortunately, even though my son absolutely loved this product despite his frustrations with the transformations, I returned because for the cost, this was just not justifiable even for our classroom use.UPDATE: So I ended up keeping this, because two months later kiddo would not stop talking/asking for it, and we're learning life cycles, so I got roped back in. I have to admit that I'm glad I did, because all the kids I've used this with since have loved it and parents keep asking where we got it for their kids. It definitely becomes easier to transform I think once the puppet "breaks in" a bit. The zipper is also better on this one vs the first one we ordered, so maybe that was part of the problem. Still no wiggle room, kid still needs help transforming, but it's a huge hit. Updated to five stars!

We use this product as part of our education programs and it is fantastic.

Eine sehr schöne Handpuppe, sehr sauber verarbeitet.Anhand dieser Puppe lässt dich die Metamorphose den Kindern leichter erklären.Nur der Preis hat es ziemlich in sich.Schade, dass es den Schmetterling nur in dieser Farbvariante gibt.

Diese Handpuppe ist einfach toll. Sie zeigt Kindergartenkindern komplexe Vorgänge in der Natur von Insekten auf einfach und anschauliche Weise. Überdies ist die Handpuppe sehr schön gefertigt und weckt sofort das Interesse der Kinder. Zugegeben die Puppe ist nicht ganz billig, aber mit dendrei Segmenten Made, Puppe und Falter ist sie ihren Preis wert, also preiswert. Sehr empfehlenswert, besonders für Kleinkinder

Ein Wunderschöner Schmetterling, habe ihn schon sehr gut einsetzen können, privat wie beruflich, tolle Idee, das Material fühlt sich gut an, selbst mein 4 jähriger Enkel hatte Spaß an der Veränderung zu arbeiten
