A note to teachers, parents, therapists, puppeteers etc: While Purciful's Magical Toys carries hundreds of puppets from a wide variety of sources, the one thing we have not found in the past has been really good finger puppets that are people. Real looking (as real as a little finger puppet can look...) people in a variety of ages, period or ethnic costume, skin and hair color, and personality. Feel free to find a nice grandfather, cousin, best friend, dasterdly villian, or teacher among these for your next puppet show -- just because you know their real name, doesn't mean they can't act under another character's name! |
