Description: Etiquette was a focus of Romper Room. The hostesses were always addressed as “Miss.” The show also had a mascot, Mr. Do-Bee. Mr. Do-Bee was an oversized bumblebee who came to teach the children proper deportment. The hostess would also serve milk and cookies to the children. The young cast, which ranged from 4 to 5 years old, was rotated every two months. Many of the hostesses had prior experience working with small children and many were former kindergarten teachers.
