User questions & answers

Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	No requires adult assembly My 7,5 and 2 year old grandchildren love it !
Question:	Will these fit on adult male hands
Answer:	this tent size is 28”x20”x41”H, and light-weight, only 2.2 lbs.
Question:	I see mostly 3 and 4 yr olds receiving. Would a 5 year old enjoy
Answer:	Hi, this lemonade stand/puppet theater is made of durable PVC poles, just snap them together when assemble, we have sewed the instruction on the storage bag for customer, and it is stable and durable once assembled. Thanks
Question:	dimensions of the stage
Answer:	Hi Customer, Thanks for your support. This puppet show theater set up with PVC poles, easy process by connecting rods together. Take down the poles, it can be fold. Thanks. Best Regards Alvantor
Question:	Would this be the right size to take on a plane to entertain my 2 year old
Answer:	This was not very sturdy and the picture is very deceiving. Size I don't know as I don't have it anymore. If I remember correctly it was probably between 12 and 18 inches high but again, it was very flimsy and did not hold up well with two children ages 4 and 2 playing with it. I would definitely look for something else to purchase before spending my money on this.
Question:	what size is it? Give the dimensions
Answer:	Preschool 3-6 years is good, depends on childs' interest in pretend play.(dress up, pretend kitchen or tools) A good prep may be watching a YouTube puppet show....Fred Rodgers? Its nice to be able to store this and bring it out. I always had the kids talk thru the play by saying....once upon a time, there was a ? And then what happened? Or have puppets based on a favorite book (Can you tell I am a retired early childhood (birth to 12) educator? And gramma of 5?)

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this puppet have a moveable mouth
Answer:	I bought puppets also from Walmart but they were made out of cloth, and are not realistic. No way did you find these exact puppets at Walmart.
Question:	Is this washable in a machine
Answer:	My students (1st Graders) who used these seemed to find them fairly easy to use. They are small for adult hands. I find it's a tad hard to get the mouth to move properly with my hands.
Question:	Is the hand hole in the abdomen or the bottom
Answer:	You can’t animate the mouth or hands well, like with a larger puppet, but the animals are cute and can be moved around as if talking . Good enough for use with preschool to age 6.
Question:	Could anyone tell me if this puppet is supposed to be lined please? I've just received one and it's not and it's quite scratchy inside. Thanks
Answer:	Yes the mouths move & can be easily manipulated if you have smaller hands. My hands fit perfectly but since I think they are made for children, the men in our family have a harder time using the puppets.
