The entrance on the belly I feel to be absolutely sufficient, since even my husband's huge hand enters well.
A small smear I have to do yet, namely the processing. Basically, the workmanship is very good and high quality at the Living Puppets, but our cat holes had breits twice at a seam and a beard has dissolved for the second time. I could fix it easily because I have to do with needle and thread and professionally. However, if you can not sew, here has a problem.
Because it is only in 2011 came out, I hope that was just a "childhood disease", but that should not happen for the price and also in terms of the fact that he is authorized from 10 months.
I can washability unfortunately make no statements, but it should be possible.
But all in all an absolutely recommendable product that still is educationally valuable and on which not only delighted the children.
