Down on the Farm Puppet Skits

Life on an Amish farm is quite different than the life city boy Dirk is used to: no t.v., no video games and no electricity!  When the Yoder family agrees to take in Dirk for an extended stay, everyone, including Skippy the talking dog, begins to feel differently about life "down on the farm." Originally based on  parables in the New Testament.  

The following skits may be purchased as a set only. (4 skits in the set) The skits build upon each other and should not be used individually.
