thanks all

I agree about the lower price...I do want them to move and it's harder for people to part with their money these days so cheaper would be better..

I've tried to child-proof it as much as possible but kids could tear up a tank. lol.  I will have an attached tag indicating it's not for kids under 3 without supervision.

I'm doing some presentations at a huge PreSchool Educator's conference in the future and have signed up for a vendor booth as well.  I think these would work well as a teacher puppet...I like the friendly monster concept for little ones...

and yes!  I'd definitely like to see the price calculator--that sounds real helpful!  thanks again

they're a plastic practice golfball that I get at dollar stores--I cut them almost in half, pull open, and dremel smooth the edges.  I then use the fleece eyelid technique I picked up via a link on this site

for the edge of the lid, i use self-adhesive fun foam I cut in skinny strips using my paper cutter...

It's an exel file right?  I think you would need to zip the file first for the system here to accept it. I think it would be fine to upload it to your site though since if I remember right Andrew released it under a Creative Commons license. 

I had to convert it from Excel to notepad then to word and then to PDF. I hope you can make it out. This will give you a idea until Andrew can correct things. Just trying to help out.

Great puppet! Well done

Very cool puppet!!! In regards to price I think the thirty dollar range is your best price if you want them to move. They're definitely worth more but I don't think the market will accept a higher price.

I've been getting about 15-40 dollars each on ebay for my puppets and yours look like they are a lot better (Sigh)-Steve

P.S. just make sure the minimum bid covers at least the cost of the materials.
