[kids-lib] Help with play kitchen and/or puppet theater suggestions

[Maryanne Hirning]

We just have the inexpensive Melissa and Doug Puppet Theater (Amazon link
<https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Deluxe-Puppet-Theater/dp/B000NVBF4Q>,
sorry I just tell myself my money goes specifically to MacKenzie Scott and
not Bezos...) I also bought three sets of Melissa and Doug puppets. We are
a small library but the puppets and theater get used every single day and
have held up really well in the three years we have had it out. I only put
out 4 or 5 puppets at a time and rotate them out every week or so. I also
wash them a couple times a month.
