We have many step 2 items, and this caught my eye as a great tool to help my two and five year olds express themselves freely. They are inspired by the puppets and creative play involved in their own 'story making'
That aside, I discovered while assembling this *Which took twenty minutes, tops..Including sticker placement* that I was blessed with TWO sets of curtains, as well as puppets. It must have been a packing error, clearly...but none the less, I suppose I've received extras in case any damage is to occur to either curtains/puppets. Which I will add are made EXTREMELY well. Not flimsy, badly sewn, etc. Curtains are a rich, plush velour, as well as puppets. However, tho I DO have the light, I am unable to mount it because I found no hardware included. I have searched the box inside and out, as well as all pieces to see where they may have been hidden. But to no avail. I suppose for now it can do without the light, but would be nice for added play effect.

This product encourages role play, language development, cooperative play, and plain fun! It encourages development of roles as both storyteller and audience, and my grandaughters also pretend to sell popcorn, soda, and small and large tickets, so a business sense as well emerges. However, if a child hops into the stage opening, leaning forward, the item will topple over with them in the mix. This happened to my two and a half year old grandaughter, who was playing with her five year old sister, for whom this was a birthday gift. Keeping the back arms of the stage open may help minimize this risk, but the company should look into this. We were close by to help her at the time, it would have been a bigger problem if we were not, or if more kids were close by and fell on top of the theater after it toppled.

Comments about Step2 Puppet Theater:
There needs to be something to hold the doors open and minimize tipping. Curtain ties would also be help full.

Comments about Step2 Puppet Theater:
Easy to put together. Sturdy, tended to tip, but could have been the 3,4 and 6 year old girls all wanting to play at once with it. Grandpa is going to pop wall plug and pour in sand to steady! The hit of the 3 year old's birthday party! Ended up buying one for the 4 year old' party the next week. [...] Love how the girls are still enjoying it and I think they will for years to come. GREAT toy!

Could use a little more balast in bottom to steady.

Comments about Step2 Puppet Theater:
We got this for our daughter for her 3rd birthday and she absolutley LOVES it! She has so much fun using the 2 puppets that came with the item and her own puppets/stuffed animals she has of her own. Her and my husband put on shows for my 1 year old son and I all the time and everybody has fun! Wish it would have come with more puppets, but if that is the only negative thing about this product then I think that is pretty good! Love the little light above to make it feel like a spotlight on the show! Would definitely buy again!

Comments about Step2 Puppet Theater:
My daughter is special needs and not very verbal, but her face lights up and she laughs with delight, when I put on a show for her. I bought this puppet show for her 4th birthday and we are getting plenty of use from it, it is the perfect size and the built in light comes in very handy for our night time shows. We love this product!
