I was a Kindergarten and Preschool teacher for many years, and was continuously purchasing items for my classroom.  If I remember correctly, these insect puppets came in a set from Costco. I most likely purchased them in the summer because I don't recall them ever making it to my classroom!  One of them still has a plastic tab where he was attached to cardboard backing.  I recently discovered them in a box where they were carefully stored.  To give you idea of size, I measured one that is about 7" in length. This is a great time of year for learning about insects and playing with some puppets!  These puppets come from a non-smoking home.  Please take a look at the magnified photos, as they are an important part of the description, and ask any questions about attributes that are important to you prior to bidding to ensure your satisfaction.  USPS shipping is $10.93 in U.S. due to size of box and weight.
