Marionettes
These amusing marionettes operate with a twist of the wrist, promoting coordination for young children. In contrast to many marionettes, they are simple to operate. (The dogs are even pretrained to "Sit," "Stay," and "Down!")
The large puppets' bodies are approximately 24-30" tall (38" tall including the strings) and the "babies'" bodies are approximately 7-9" tall (22" including strings.)
They're a great device for helping shy children express themselves through imaginative play and are perfect for creative storytelling.

Whale and walrus fossils are found in the southeastern and northern lower peninsula of Michigan in shoreline deposits formed during the last 11,000 years after the retreat of the glaciers of the Pleistocene Ice Age. The mammals evidently swam up the ancestral Mississippi & St. Lawrence Rivers.
