An online store for Oobi Eyes!

There is now a whole online store of Oobi eyes and finger puppets: OobiEyes.com! This is great news for families like mine who just can't get enough of Oobi. It's got exact replicas of Oobi, Uma, Kako, and Grampu. Plus a whole selection of costumes, wigs, and colorful googly eyes. My favorites have to be the "Oobi Frog" and "Oobi Ladybug." Very creative and cute. And much more accurate than any of the homemade Oobi eyes I've made over the years!

I sent the site owner a message asking about the sizes for the different puppets. He is "OobiDad" on eBay. He was nice enough to give me a rundown of each one.

Premium Eyes: Fit hands from 3 year olds' to even the largest adult hands by squeezing the band with your fingers to adjust, they are the most adjustable of all the Eyes.

Creature Eyes: Fit hands from 3 year olds(normally) to most adult hands(by pulling the eyes apart to adjust, the plastic is a very nice quality flexible plastic).

Novelty Eyes: This is a rigid "cheapy" plastic, it cannot be adjusted and must remain in it's manufactured size, fitting a 3 year old's hand to maybe a 7 year old's. 

Googly Eyes: These are the same type of plastic used for the Creature Eyes so they're very nice quality and flexible but are manufactured to fit only children's hands up to maybe 6 or 7.

So now you know. I'll be getting a couple of the premium ones and a few wigs. I'll have to judge the quality for myself before giving them away as gifts.
