The puppets of Sterntaler are particularly well suited for small beginners among the puppeteers. They are very nicely designed, soft and washable and have been taken delighted with our 4 year old granddaughter in action. I myself, however, was a little disappointed, because the faces of the various figures hardly differ. Too bad, because some small features more character would be very nice, because it is precisely at Kasper there is the design of the typical face on. All in all, a good value for money and thoroughly recommended.
