Handcrafted Felt Puppets: Perfect for Storytelling & Imaginative Play

Have fun with our handmade felt puppets, designed to inspire creativity and bring stories to life. Our collection features a charming range of hand-felted animal puppets and character puppets, ethically crafted by skilled artisans in Nepal. Made from 100% wool, these eco-friendly and sustainable puppets are soft, durable, and perfect for interactive storytelling, puppet shows, and imaginative play.

Each puppet is carefully handcrafted using traditional felting techniques and natural, non-toxic dyes. From woodland creatures like foxes and hedgehogs to farmyard favourites such as our merino wool sheep, every design is full of personality and fine detail. Sized perfectly for children’s hands, these soft and durable hand puppets make a wonderful addition to any toy collection.

Hand puppets or finger puppets?

Our Hand Puppets are full-size, worked over the whole hand, and best for storytelling to a group or a bedtime audience. Our Finger Puppets are much smaller, sized for a single finger, and travel well — ideal for car journeys, waiting rooms and quiet play. Both are designed by award-winning Oxfordshire designer Sonia Spencer and needle felted by hand from organic lamb's wool by skilled artisans in Nepal.

At Sew Heart Felt, we are committed to fair trade and sustainable production, ensuring that every purchase supports artisan communities with fair wages and ethical working conditions. Our felt puppets are not just toys – they are unique, heirloom-quality keepsakes that encourage creative play and storytelling adventures.
