finger puppet

Tiny hand character

A finger puppet is a small puppet worn on a single finger, typically made of fabric, felt, or knitted material shaped to fit snugly over the fingertip.

Unlike hand puppets that cover the whole hand, finger puppets allow several characters to be operated at once: She wiggled five finger puppets, one on each finger, to tell the story.
