NABISCO THEATER CARDS

 

These cards came in two sets, the first of which featured Straight Arrow characters.  Each group featured a Shredded Wheat box, the back of which became a TV screen or stage for presentation.  Each also had a set of finger puppets, which came on two attached cards.  These cards had a white background, and full color images of the characters and props, and were die-cut so they could be easily punched out.  The instruction/announcer card and several script cards were printed on the usual gray cardboard stock.
