Marionettes
These amusing marionettes operate with a twist of the wrist, promoting coordination for young children. In contrast to many marionettes, they are simple to operate. (The dogs are even pretrained to "Sit," "Stay," and "Down!")
The large puppets' bodies are approximately 24-30" tall (38" tall including the strings) and the "babies'" bodies are approximately 7-9" tall (22" including strings.)
They're a great device for helping shy children express themselves through imaginative play and are perfect for creative storytelling.

Frogs swallow with their eyeballs. Since they do not have hard palates to resist the upward force of the tongue during swallowing, they retract their eyes (normally one at a time) in order to force food down their throats. (another ribiting frog-fact)
