Jumping Jack and Jill

These were one of my Sugar Show entries for CC 2015.  I had originally intended to only do one entry.  I wanted to try to get the engineering right and create a working owl for the Wildlife category.  When this PBP challenge came up, I figured I could add a couple of people-like ones that fit here, too.  They are based on two of the toys in my Hampelmann collection but I was unable to discover the artist.

Wonderful entry! Hope they fared well in the Sugar Show too.

It was so hard to resist pulling those strings when I saw these at the Sugar Show! These are a terrific spin on the challenge!

You did engineer these.  Do they really move?

Yes, they actually work just like my wooden ones.  Pull the strings and the legs and arms move up and down.

I should have put a note inviting people to try them.  The Garfield actually jumped the best.
