I'd like to use some fairly large Raggedy Andy props for one of my three year old classes' recital number. Anyone know of a good source to buy them from (don't want to pay a ton of money)

Oh, I love Raggdy Ann and Andy. I'll bet your little ones will be adorable. Have you considered asking parents at your studio or freinds who are parents if any of their kids have these at home? One year we did a toy shop scene and decorated the stage with toys our students let us borrow. It looked wonderful and the best part, it didn't cost a cent! The only problem was that the pre-schoolers were so fascinated and distracted by the array of toys onstage that they had trouble remembering to face the audience instead of the back of the stage! It was very cute and effective though. Is there a toy shop in your town? Maybe they would be willing to lend you some dolls in exchange for free advertisement on your program (good exposure for them). Good Luck.

Thanks so much for your reply. I have thought of asking the parents but I want to make sure that all the dolls are the same size.

Sounds as if you've had a bit of experience choreographing for this age. They're fun but certainly a challenge. The great thing about these classes is that no matter what they end up doing the night of the show, the audience always loves them!!!
