Troubleshooting

Puppet's arms/legs feel stiff.

Gently flex the limbs back and forth a few times. The recycled materials may initially feel a bit stiff but should loosen with gentle use.

Fabric appears matted or dirty.

Spot clean the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For minor dirt, a dry cloth can often suffice. Avoid saturating the fabric.

Puppet doesn't stand upright easily.

Ensure the legs are positioned correctly for balance. The puppet's design allows for walking motion, not necessarily static standing without support.
