I believe they are safe and a child would not be able to get them off. **Q: Do they make a lion?** A: This set includes elephant, tiger, parrot, giraffe, monkey, and zebra - there is no lion hand puppet in the set. We do have a puppeteer puppet where you use one hand to manipulate the puppet's mouth and facial expressions, and the other to gesture with the wooden arm rod. That puppet is our Rory puppet #2568. **Q: Will these fit adult hands?** A: Yes they fit on large adult woman's hand. Tight for a larger male ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buena calidad *by J***A on 14 June 2026* Mi hijo ama estas figuritas, no le aburren y nos divertimos montón . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was happy with the quality. *by T***. on 24 August 2023* Gave this to My granddaughter on her 4th birthday.
