Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 11 reviews.
"The seal is very attractive and colorful. It's mouth is small and lacks the mobility to fully open. Sized for a child, but an adult could use it close up with children but not that effective on stage. Soft and well made, otherwise, and the face is cute; in particular the eyes, are whimsical."
"It's great but wish the puppets will come a bit larger for the future VBS. We use it to give away on the last day of the VBS to a student who will be moving up to Youth. KIds love the puppets."
"The puppet was cute & good quality. However, it’s mouth was very stiff and hard to move. I thought it was odd that an Arctic seal was the mascot for being on a mountain."
"The puppet was well made the kids loved interacting with him."
"Puppet is exactly as image appears."
"Though our VBS is not until late July, we have practiced with the puppet. We always use Concordia for our VBS programs and always those programs with a puppet. Our campers just love the puppets!"
"Our VBS staff are looking forward to using "Ollie" this summer. And, we know the kids will love him."
"Ollie the seal is great! Good quality and easy to use!"
"He is so cute!"
"I think the kids will love it"
