The Magical World of Tara Treasures’ Felt Finger Puppets

Our finger puppets collection features an extensive array of characters, from the delightful animals of Old MacDonald’s farm to mythical creatures and seasonal figures. Each set is designed to spark joy and ignite the imaginations of young minds. Children can choreograph their finger puppet shows, enhancing their storytelling skills and emotional expression.

Finger puppets are small and mighty tools of learning and development. They serve as key players in a child’s growth, offering a range of benefits:

• Enhanced Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating the small puppets helps children develop coordination and dexterity.
  
  
• Language Development: As children narrate stories or sing along with the puppets, they practice new words and expressions in a fun and engaging way.
  
  
• Creativity and Imagination: Puppets open up possibilities for creative storytelling, encouraging children to invent scenarios and solve problems creatively.
  
  
• Emotional Expression: Through role-play, children explore different emotions and situations, helping them understand and manage their own feelings.
  
  
• Social Skills: Sharing a puppet play session with others fosters cooperation, turn-taking, and empathy among young learners.

Our storytelling finger puppets bring popular tales to life, offering children a tactile and interactive way to engage with stories. Some of our favourite sets include:

• The Three Billy Goats Gruff: This classic set helps kids explore bravery and problem-solving as they act out the goats' clever tactics to outsmart the troll under the bridge.
  
  
• The Three Little Pigs: A fantastic tale that teaches about perseverance and hard work, our puppets include the three pigs and the big bad wolf, perfect for reenacting this beloved story.
  
  
• Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Through this set, children learn about respect and boundaries as they tell the story of Goldilocks’ adventures in the bears' home.

Nursery rhymes are foundational elements of early childhood education, and our felt finger puppets designed to accompany these rhymes add an extra layer of fun and learning:

• Hey Diddle Diddle: Jump over the moon with the cat and the fiddle and laugh as the dish runs away with the spoon.
  
  
• Humpty Dumpty: Perfect for singing along or acting out the famous fall and encouraging early problem-solving discussions about putting Humpty together again.
  
  

• Itsy Bitsy Spider : Climb up the water spout with the Itsy Bitsy Spider! This beloved nursery rhyme puppet helps children learn about perseverance as they reenact the spider’s journey up the spout. It is also a wonderful tool to introduce natural elements like rain and sun.

For those with a love of nature and wildlife, our realistic felt finger puppets provide a close-up look at some of the unique fauna:

• Australian Fauna: From the cuddly koala to the hopping kangaroo, these puppets allow children to explore the diverse animal kingdom of Australia.

Maintaining the quality and longevity of your finger puppets is easy. Here are some simple care tips:

• Cleaning: Gently spot clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a bit of natural soap can help. Avoid soaking them, as wool does not fare well in prolonged moisture.
  
  
• Storage: Keep them in a dry place to avoid moisture and direct sunlight which can fade the colors.
