Product Overview

Sal is a hand puppet from Living Puppets, made in the shape of a turtle with a moving mouth that lets kids give Sal a voice of its own. Hand-made and designed with care, Sal is built to be soft and cuddly, the kind of puppet that's happy to be hugged as much as it's put to work in a story. The moveable mouth means Sal can "talk" back, react, and join in whatever tale a child dreams up.

Moving mouth brings Sal to life for talking, storytelling, and roleplay
Soft, cuddly construction made with top-tier materials for a puppet that's comfortable to hold and hug
Hand-made puppet design encourages imaginative play, self-expression, and storytelling adventures
Hand puppet format supports fine-motor skill development along with social and emotional play
Turtle character with a soft shell design, sized for little hands to work the mouth and bring Sal into the conversation

WARNING:
