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

[Natasha Chitow]

We ordered this puppet theater
<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B63KS9PV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title>
from Amazon last year, and it gets consistent use and imaginative play. It
gets cleaned regularly by custodial staff with disinfectant, and we only
have a few puppets out at any given time.
