Straight from the grown-ups

Small critics.
Big reviews.

“Sameer started Puppetsburg when he was only a few months old. Two years later, it is still a highlight of his week. He loves how silly, fun, and interactive the class is—and I love watching him dance, sing, and give huge hugs to his puppet friends.”

Lisa + Sameer, 2, and Jai, 3 months

“My three-year-old son Sebastian has been obsessed with Puppetsburg and Sarah for months! He eagerly anticipates the show each week to discover what adventures Clementine has in store. Even I get a kick out of the unique plots.”

Lydia + Sebastian, 3

“Puppetsburg joined our Bring Your Kids to Work Day at Etsy’s Brooklyn headquarters. The original, engaging, upbeat show was perfect for our gaggle of younger kiddos. We especially loved the handmade puppets!”

Katie Rose + the children of Etsy

“A truly magical experience combining puppets, song, movement, and learning in a wonderfully original and zany interactive show. Our daughter lights up whenever we talk about Puppetsburg.”

Reshma + Plum, 1½

“The characters are creative and modern, so kids and adults stay entertained. Because the stories are woven together with activities, even a crazy toddler like mine stays involved. Every child feels welcome and part of the show.”
