Garden Critters Finger Puppet Set

As kids we were firmly informed that there were indoor and outdoor activities and that it behooved us not to confuse the two. Bugs were strictly relegated to the outdoors. Even though we argued (rather convincingly we thought) that mason jars would securely house our fireflies and that the water-skippers would never escape our washbasin habitats there was no dissuading our parents. We’re sure this played a part in our excitement upon finding Sonja Otti’s Garden Critters – parent approved pocket pals guaranteed not to create a shrieking havoc indoors!

Austrian artist and mother of two, Sonja Otti has created the wonderful world of Die Ottis. We’re completely charmed by her unique and imaginative characters, which include pirate bunnies, ballerina mice and all manner of delightfully handcrafted critters. Our finger puppets are beautifully detailed right down to their painted eyes and floss antennae. Both the bee and the grasshopper feature a silken gauze material on the underside of their fleece wings and the snail's shell is created from a perfectly suited textured fabric. Every set contains a grasshopper, a snail and a bumble bee sized to fit little fingers and provide hours of hopping, slithering and buzzing fun.
