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:
We had a Step 2 puppet theatre in my library from when I began employment 11 years ago. We have a very busy children's dept and this poor piece of equipment has survived so much abuse you can't believe it!! Kids have thrown it, folded it up and stomped on it, beat it,etc. but it has never BROKEN!! What kind of material is this stuff made from? I finally broke down and purchased the new model and donated the old one to a preschool. The kids love it and use it just like the old one. I can't walk back to the play area and not see a child busy putting on a puppet show. Thank you for creating such a sturdy, beautiful, and affordable puppet theatre! And it's made in the good old USA!

My granddaughter loves her puppet theater. We already had so many puppets that it is nice that it has puppet storage available. Her friends love it too. And it is simply very attractive.

Comments about Step2 Puppet Theater:
The fabulous design allows for that private space to be creative.
The puppets are the stars and the imagined story line becomes the center of the child's play / world,
The height of the theatre as well as the curtain and the half doors creates that magic space behind which a child can conceal themselves while performing and
being center stage of creative attention. Its a win win for all kinds of personalitites to perform and be creative. The kids are able to do it easily because this is such great structure and well thought out puppet theatre design. Highly recommend
for kids of all ages, ours are 2-4-10 and they all love it and create plays together!! Great family entertainment...everyone can participate !!

Comments about Step2 Puppet Theater:
Set up in our pre-school area of library children's room. Parents and grandparents love to watch a puppet show performed by the kids. Shy kids don't seem to have a problem expressing themselves with puppets.
