Where stories are told, life is lived, and magic happens every day. Here at the Orphanarium we work hard to make sure each Poppet has good manners, learns new life skills, and is ready for adoption.

This is Preston, host of Poppet Radio. He spends his days playing in the woods when he’s not in the studio with his co-hosts Franklin and Evie.

Climbing tress is an essential skill and like most kids, Poppets have a rich imagination. Here, Preston and Lulu experiment with what it would be like to be koalas.

The world is a big place and Poppets love to explore it.

We teach outdoor skills early at the Orphanarium.

We keep logs of every Poppet that moves through the Orphanarium. So many have grown up here so we make sure to keep accurate logs of each kid before they move on to new families.

It’s not always easy to acclimate to a new home and new siblings.

Poppets are excellent ambassadors. Ma Peebs took these two on the trip of their lives. Here they are exploring Tiergarten in Berlin.

Poppets are very small and it’s important to keep track of them. It would be a very bad day if we lost one another in a foreign city.

We miss you Cosmo! How fun it was to talk about the Cosmos with you. Carl Sagan was your inspiration. Hopefully your new home has a telescope to see the stars.

A happy photo of Ren when she wore her glasses for the first time. We noticed she was bumping into things so we made sure she got an eye exam. It turns out she’s rather nearsighted.

Hangin’ out and shootin’ the poop on Ma Peebs big ol’ bed.

Conjoined twins are very rare, and we are always thrilled with the ‘double yoke’ orbs that produce them. Two heads are better than one!

Poppets LOVE stories, especially at bedtime.

Word gets out fast when someone gets adopted. It’s an exciting and also sad event.

Camping and being outdoors is good for the soul. Ansel is by the riverside having deep thoughts on this beautiful summer day.

It’s true, Ma Peebs spoils her Poppets with beautiful blankets and sleeping bags for campouts, a favorite pass time.

A Poppet’s first outfit is an important day. Lot’s of discussion goes into what colors they like, and what style of hat suits them best.

Ilsa discoverd a beautiful broach under the couch and she now wears it with pride.

Who doesn’t love forts? A friend of the Orpanarium built this gorgeous fort for a day by the river.

BE EATEN BY AN ALLIGATOR!

From sequin and fur bean bags to unique and stylish outerwear, Poppets do live in luxury.

Some of our Poppets like their alone time. The sound of rain on the window is so soothing.

Jealousy does sometimes happen, so it’s important to share the coziest spots.

If you look closely you will see a tiny acorn adorning Orland’s neck. That’s because he loves oak trees and hopes to live inside one someday.

When it’s gloomy outside we make sure the Poppets have things to do indoors. Sometimes it’s cooking classes or drawing lessons. Other times everyone gathers in the Rompus Room for play time and movies.
