User questions & answers

Question:	are the beads wood or plastic
Answer:	Not sure of the fabric, it is soft and is washable, the children love to play with these animals. I would buy them again.
Question:	Is there a lid to cover the beads so they don't spill when stored or just an open top
Answer:	The eyes are made of plastic. We recommend this product for ages 2+ so they can be great for developing motor skills, hand-eye coordination, communication skills, self-confidence, parent-child bonding, and so much more!
Question:	Are they made in the USA
Answer:	Hi Yanke! Our toys are made all around the world to our high quality and safety standards. Each toy is clearly marked with its country of origin. These wonderful hand puppets are currently made in China and they meet or exceed all the US Toy Safety Testing Standards. Get ready for a great show!
Question:	How big are the beads
Answer:	I'd say 3 to 5. Although 3 may be a little young, (my 3 year old grandson can't do it by himself, but he had no patience whatsoever!), and 5, a little old (my 5 year old grandson does them in one minute!... but they are very different in their development...I think the 5 year old could have done it when he was 3...). So it really depends on the child... 3-4 years old seems the best age range.

Question:	Can she sit down
Answer:	Well you can't clean puppets off by placing them in a wash machine. The best way to make certain your' puppets stay clean is never place you puppets on unclear surfaces, and always make certain your hands are clean. You can use a damp wash cloth or a baby wipe to get rid of dirt. I have worked with puppets for over 30 years. The blue monster puppet is great but never put the puppet in a washing machine if you do the fur will come off and the puppet may start to fall a part.
