Caring for Your Felt Finger Puppets

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.
