The pattern we use to make the Turtle toy and puppet are literally the exact same pieces, other than the sleeve in the puppet that accesses the working mouth through the belly. The Turtle is fully stuffed and works where his head goes in and out one of my favorites. When you are not using him as a puppet, Turtle puppet is about 15 inches long. The mouth is very big, as it should be in a hippo, but it works well. I just love this puppet.
These puppets are made by a women who is now 93 years old. She is still working hard to get orders. Bless her heart.
