That's a good idea.
I never let (although they ask) little kids or even some adults (depends on the person) play with my puppets. One of my friends kid absolutely destroyed a rabbit I had made. For those library events, I normally have the kids make their own puppets, and, at the last one, had Don help one kid out. That was fun.
Yeah, I'll do that. Have a few "cheaper" puppets out for people to work with so my characters don't get ruined and get someone interested in it.
Dang, you're smart, Kev! Like Crazy Harry said, Why didn't I think o' that???
Scooter Soup? Funny.
