This set of vintage Pelham hand-painted wooden marionette puppets were lovingly used more than 20 years ago and have been resting in our dry attic waiting for another set of creative and imaginative children to wake them up!
Your child can act out countless puppet stories using the wicked witch, the serene fairy princess and the perky little girl and boy. With practice a child could present a one-person show, or could even use two marionettes at a time.
Each puppet is approximately 12 inches tall, excluding the strings. Eight strings control hands, legs, feet, back, head independently. The mouths are jointed but are not controlled by strings. (The mouths seem to move as the bodies move, creating the look that they are speaking.) All the strings are colored for easy identification. The set includes the original Pelham usage instructions and each is in its original box bottoms. (Only the witch has the box top.)
