Four characters. Four personalities. One stage.

Meet the JoyArt Easter cast — two fluffy bunnies and two sweet little lambs, each with their own outfit and style. These handmade felt puppets bring the JoyArt Doorway Theatre to life, and work beautifully on their own as Easter decorations, gifts, or quiet play companions.

This listing is for the PDF pattern and complete instruction book for all 4 characters: Rabbit Girl, Rabbit Boy, Lamb Girl, and Lamb Boy.

(Bunny 25 cm · Lamb 20 cm — sized to fit the JoyArt theatre stage)
