Create, Decorate & Bring Your Puppets to Life

Create, decorate, then put on a show. This hands-on craft kit lets kids transform colourful felt puppet bases into their own animal characters, then use their finished creations for storytelling, silly voices and imaginative puppet shows.

With 6 colourful puppet bases plus pompoms, googly eyes and assorted felt decorations, there’s plenty to mix, match and personalise. The fun doesn’t stop when the crafting is finished either — every completed character becomes a playable hand puppet ready for the next story or adventure.

Why You’ll Love It

• 6 puppets to create and play with
• Crafting and pretend play in one activity
• Colourful felt animal characters
• Includes fun decorating accessories
• Personalise each puppet your way
• Turn finished crafts into playable puppets
• Great for storytelling and puppet shows
• Fun for solo, family or group play

Make 6 Colourful Puppets

Start with six unfinished felt hand puppets and decorate each one with different faces, colours and character details to create a complete puppet collection.

Craft First, Play Afterwards

Unlike a craft that gets packed away once it’s finished, these creations become part of playtime. Slip a finished character onto your hand and turn it into puppet shows, conversations and made-up stories.

Mix, Match & Make Them Your Own

Pompoms, googly eyes and assorted felt decorations give kids the freedom to customise their characters instead of simply playing with a ready-made toy.

Perfect for Puppet Shows

Once the characters are ready, bring them together for a full puppet show. Kids can invent characters, change their voices and create a completely different story every time.

Great for Craft Time Together

With six individual puppet bases in the set, it works especially well for siblings, friends, parties or a relaxed craft session together at home.
