finger puppets

Tiny hand characters

Finger puppets are small figures designed to fit over a fingertip, typically made of cloth, felt, or rubber.

They're used for simple entertainment or storytelling, especially with children: She made finger puppets of all the farm animals.

Unlike hand puppets, which cover the whole hand, finger puppets allow multiple characters to be operated simultaneously.
