My boys love to play with puppets! I used to love to play with puppets as a child as well. I remember getting out the brown paper bags and coloring my own puppets. My sisters and I would then have my dad and stepmom sit down on the couch in the front room and watch our puppet show from the top of the stairs.
My boys are lucky enough to have hand puppets (made of cloth rather than paper bags) and now to have the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Puppet Theater. What a fabulous idea! If you’re looking for a gift that will stretch your child’s imagination and keep him or her entertained for hours, you definitely want to check out the Deluxe Puppet Theater!!!
With the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Puppet Theater, it’s always show time! This wooden puppet theater has been designed with a sturdy, non-tip base and plenty of room inside for a puppeteer or two! The stylized theatrical graphics and plush, velvety curtains will inspire creativity and expression in any child. Including a clock with movable hands and a chalkboard panel for playbill information, it’s a stage just awaiting imagination.
Dimensions: 52″ x 18″ x 24.75″ Assembled
Recommended: Ages 3 years and up
Contains small parts. Adult assembly required. Retails for $89.99.

I was so excited! My 3-year old would be over the moon with this. I spent 3/4 of my life with a puppet on one hand responding to “Mama…talk mouse” “Mama – talk bug” “Mama – talk little cat” “Mama – talk pink monster” and so on and so on …
But then I got to the bottom and learned the giveaway is not open to us Canucks:( Very very sad!)
I love their play kitchen
