Marionette Collection Tips from The Zoo Crew:Our #1 guarantee is that your marionette will get tangled. 3 Pointers to keep in mind: #1 - Teach kids about gravity. Hold it by the top wood bars rather than the body (which dangles underneath).#2 - When your marionette becomes tangled, you can take the string out of the wood bars to help untangle the strings. They are either held in by a bead or a knot (depending on style). #3 – If for some reason your marionette looks a little wonky, the pom poms that form the body are slidable along his string skeleton. It’s just a very simple, old-fashioned toy. We really love these little marionettes and know you will too! I hope that you get a great show when your child uses his or her creativity and imagination!
