User questions & answers

Question:	How tall are they
Answer:	Finger puppets work well on the inside stage which the flap opens for about a 4'"x 10" area. My 3 & 4 year old grands love it!!
Question:	Can you order the puppet rod individually? My son just got his puppet and the dog snapped the rod into three pieces
Answer:	Hello, it measures 15.5 inches wide X 15 inches tall (at the highest point) and 2 inches deep. It's soft and "squishable." Finger puppets tend to be small, too. The pockets on the door (that you can see in the picture) could hold 2-3 finger puppets each inside them. I would say that if you have room in a carryon for it, it would be good entertainment!
Question:	is the detachable rod included for both puppets
Answer:	I just realized that the product dimensions are listed on Amazon's web page as 15x2x14.
Question:	Will these fit adult hands? A petite female
Answer:	Base is 12” deep by 25” across. Shelf height is 22” from floor. Marquee is 45” tall.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it fold up for storage
Answer:	I haven't washed them but I would on cold. I would let them air dry though to keep them in better condition. Also I wouldn't dry them because they could fade in color.
Question:	How tall is it out of the box
Answer:	Wood beads... Great set of bead, my little girl loves them!
Question:	Do the sides fold in for easy storage
Answer:	Inside the wooden box you see here is a plastic tray with a lid. I keep the plastic tray with its cover in the wooden box because it is flimsy. The tray keeps the different beads separated. I use a large rubber band around the wooden box to keep it closed or tape.
Question:	Does it have a shelf to put the puppet on while putting on the puppet show
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry on this item. I am sorry to say almost all of Melissa & Doug products are now made in China. I try to sell only American made but I have yet to find something like this bead set made in the USA. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. Angela

Question:	Where are these made

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?)

There are 3 removable wooden rods that slide through the bottom middle and top to help it hold its shape and a metal tension rod with plastic ends that won't scratch up your walls or door frame.
Question:	How does the lemonade stand/puppet theater assemble? Are there poles you snap together? Does it stay together nicely once assembled
Answer:	It comes with a tension rod that will fit most standard size doorways. If your doorways are wider, you could just add a wider tension rod with a extra curtain panel on either side and it would still work on the widest of entries.
Question:	Does it fold
Answer:	No, it does not fold up for storage. The frame is screwed together and is not hinged so it remains the same size whether it is in use or not.
