Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are the finger puppets made from?

Our finger puppets are ethically handcrafted using 100% natural New Zealand wool. They are coloured using non-toxic, azo-free dyes, making them safe for children and kind to the planet.

Where are these puppets made?

Each puppet is lovingly handmade by skilled artisans in Nepal through fair-trade, family-run workshops. This support helps provide sustainable income and empowers women’s co-operatives in the region.

Are the puppets all identical?

Because each piece is individually needle-felted by hand, no two puppets are exactly alike. You may notice slight variations in size, expression, or colour, which adds to the unique charm and character of your handmade toy.

What is the recommended age for these puppets?

We recommend our finger puppets for children aged 3 years and older.

Can younger children play with them?

While the puppets are soft and made from natural materials, they should only be used by children under 3 years old with close adult supervision. This is to ensure safety and to prevent any potential choking hazards should fibers become loose over time.

How do finger puppets help with development?

Finger puppets are powerful tools for open-ended play. They support:

  • Language Skills: Encouraging oral storytelling and vocabulary building.
  • Fine Motor Skills: Developing finger independence and coordination.
  • Social-Emotional Growth: Practicing empathy, social cues, and role-playing.
  • Sensory Processing: Providing a tactile, grounding experience through the natural texture of wool.
How do I clean my felt finger puppets?

Wool is naturally dirt-repellent, but if a cleaning is needed:

  1. Spot clean only using a damp cloth and a very mild soap.
  2. Do not submerge them in water or put them in a washing machine, as this will cause the wool to felt further and lose its shape.
  3. Air dry in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry.

What should I do if the wool starts to "pill" or look fuzzy?

Like a wool sweater, natural friction can cause small fuzz balls to appear over time. You can gently trim these away with a pair of sharp scissors to keep your puppet looking neat.

Do these make good gifts?

Yes! They are perfect as chocolate-free Easter gifts, stocking stuffers, birthday party favours, or "quiet bag" toys for travel and restaurants.

Where do you ship from?

We ship our collection from our headquarters on the Sunshine Coast, delivering across Australia.
