    Magical Toadstool Finger Puppets Set

    Published: Apr 23, 2015 · Modified: Jun 16, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · 9 Comments

    Finger puppets are the perfect take-along toys - small, quiet, easy to stash, creative, and did I mention quiet? All things you want from a toy at a restaurant, waiting room, airplane, or backseat. The Magical Toadstool Finger Puppet Set fits the bill - and all in a handy carrying case that's part of the fun!

      Hi! Awesome pattern. Working it slowly from start to finish and I'm on the orange flower fairy. There's a typo on round 8 that threw me for a second...I assume it's supposed to start with "Ch" instead of "h"? Thank you!!!

        Thank you! I was going with the Waldorf doll theory where the child gets to decide how the dolls (in this case finger puppets) are feeling - it's meant to encourage creative play. 🙂
