felt puppet

Soft handmade character

A felt puppet is a puppet made primarily from felt fabric, typically designed to fit over the hand.

The style is associated with Jim Henson's Muppets—soft, expressive characters with hinged mouths operated by inserting the hand.

The kids made felt puppets in art class.

The material allows for bright colors and easy construction.
