Slip one on a finger and a story starts. These little needle-felted puppets are hand-shaped from wool by artisans in Nepal — each one worked in 3D so it looks right from every angle, not just the front.
They are the thing children pick up first in our gift shop, and the thing they still have years later. Small enough to live in a coat pocket or a glovebox, soft enough to sleep with, and sturdy enough to survive being a main character every day for a month.
