HABA Doorway Puppet Theater - Space Saver with Adjustable Rod: Ideal for Pretend Play, Hand Puppets, Educational Kids Activities, & Toys for Toddlers

We bought this theater unit to use with our 5 and 2.5 year old grandchildren when they come to visit. We liked the arrangement where the theater can be hung in a doorway, allowing for multiple locations and easy set-up and removal. This has worked very well, and the tension bar at the top is even adjustable to some extent for variable door widths, which as I recall was not emphasized in the product description. The theater is well-made and layout is well designed and colorful, an interesting, almost exotic architectural format. The features with the peak-hole opening at the top and plastic window for a sign at the bottom are great, as well as the tie-back curtains. It really provides a theater experience. We printed a sign with graphics and placed it in the window below, customizing the theater with a name that was meaningful to our grandkids. The only minor drawback was that, given the young age of our grandson and granddaughter, when they put on a show with the theater base just touching the floor the height of the stage was a bit high especially for the 2.5 year old. We addressed this by hanging the stage lower, not a big deal obviously. Our grandkids absolutely love the theater and the puppets, both having grandpa (whose has never done puppetry before) do shows or playing with the puppets themselves. What a great alternative to videos and noisy motorized toys! We are looking forward to many hours of fun with this theater.

I bought this for my 3 boys. When I was searching puppet theaters I had small and easy to store in mind, this thing is perfect. It is well made, has bright colors and really cute. The only thing I will mention is that there are 3 yard sticks used to weigh down each section of the theater. They slide in and out easily. This is more directed at my kids and NOT the makers of this product. My boys, in the spirit of the new Star Wars movie have been taking the sticks out and using them as light sabers. Word to the wise, if your children are unruly Jedi you may want to add a few simple stitches on the ends of the slats to keep the sticks inside. Great purchase!

Cute and so easy to set up and take down when not in use.

This puppet theater hangs in the doorway and is a cute item. The sides of the stage tie back. Nicely made. Was delivered in the box and was all beat up- not necessarily Amazon's fault.

It's a space saver and beautiful quality. I know my grandkids will have hours of imaginable fun.

This was a PERFECT gift for my 8 year old niece who likes to write puppet shows. She couldn't have been more excited to open it and uses it almost daily. It is well made and VERY easy to use and put away. I was trying to find something substantial but that could be easily taken down, and this fit the bill perfectly.The only issue we have had are the rods that give it weight and structure coming out of the fabric sleeves...we are thinking about sewing up the sides. That's small potatoes, though, in the grand scheme of things.

Grands love putting on shows and using their imagination.

Good
