Summer is here and we have been playing as much as we have been lounging and it has been fabulous. The Read & Play Puppet Theater allows you to not only read your favorite fairy tales, but also act them out on stage! The box for Wolf Tales can be used as a stage and contains puppets, set pieces, and a book of three fairy tales: Little Red Riding Hood, The Wolf and the Young Kids, and The Three Little Pigs. Just set up the pieces, get the puppets ready, and let the performance begin!
The boxed set contains: a foldout puppet theater, a book of three fairy tales with shortened scripts and prompts, 5 colorful set backdrops, and 9 double-sided paper puppets.
It is ridiculously cute! There is a slot on the side to change out scenes and a slot at the top to drop in the double-sided characters. The puppets and scenes are all on sturdy board like paper. The book itself is a thick board book and only the stage is thinner paper. It is built to really be played with.
After acting out the stories in the traditional way my girls decided to act out their own plays with their own dialogues. They even set up their favorite stuffed animals to be the audience. The age range is for ages 4 to 6 and my 4 and 7 year old thinks it is pretty awesome. Easy and portable which means you can even take it with you on vacation. Enjoy reading and playing this summer break!
