“Addy collected empty spools from Mrs. Ford’s shop to make wooden puppets, and got Poppa to build a special stage. Then she and Sarah put on puppet shows and sold spool puppets to raise money at the church fair!

You can put on puppet shows just like Addy did. Your theater comes with a wooden stage, two spool puppets of a soldier and a dog, and two backdrops so you can change the scenery. One of the backdrops is already painted, the other is for you to create. The slide whistle that Poppa made of spools helped Addy save the day!” (Pleasant Company Catalogue, Holiday 1994)
