Addy learned to write with a slated pencil and a big double slate. The yarn binding around the slate’s edges kept if from scraping against her desktop and disturbing her desk partner.

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.
