About the Product
Our finger puppets feature 100% organic cotton that’s harvested responsibly and dyed naturally. They are expertly crocheted and exported fair trade. No two finger puppets will be exactly alike. Modeled after the explorers from Tabula Raisa™ (Raisa, Ogul, Hendrix). These are a great imagination aid that ensure hours of storytelling fun. Children learn to create their own stories or act out ones from The Legend of Tabula Raisa™ (also available in various formats in this Shop). We generally will keep a batch of these puppets ready to ship.
Artisan Background
This product is handmade by female artisans in Peru, South America. Times are hard in towns like Juliaca near Lake Titicaca, on the frigid Andean plateau 12,500 feet above sea level. Yet, mothers continue to make whimsical animal toys like this for their children and for export around the world. Puppet knitting has been popular in this region for generations. Your purchase helps these remarkable women to earn a livelihood. The design is a Tabula Raisa™ exclusive, modeled after the lead explorer in our book series, Raisa (a.k.a. “Tabby”).
Care and Cleaning
Dab and wipe clean with a moist cloth, with or without using hand soap. Rinse with cold water, using gentle or no scrubbing. Do not use brushes or any other abrasive surface to clean as this will fray the yarn. You can also place the product in a cold water washing machine cycle. Do not wash in warm water. Do not place in a drying machine cycle or blow dry. Open air drying only. Crocheted goods are otherwise susceptible to shrinkage or other damage.
