Soft monkey finger puppets with long, thin tails that swing as the finger moves.

🐒 instant cast – three mini monkeys in one pack, so there's always a family, a gang or a chase scene ready to play
✋ finger control – slips onto an index finger or thumb, and wiggling it builds the small-muscle control behind pencil grip
📏 pocket size – roughly 13cm tall and under 30g each, so all three fit in a coat pocket or school bag
🧸 soft touch – velvety plush body with a long, thin tail that swings and curls as the puppet moves
🔇 silent play – no batteries and no sound, ideal for car trips, waiting rooms and quiet corners
🎭 story starter – gives shy talkers a character voice to speak through, from around 3 years

The Educator's Note

Finger puppets ask one finger to move while the others stay still, which builds the finger separation children need for a controlled pencil grip.
A set of three gives children several characters to voice, so they practise dialogue, sequencing and turn-taking. A single puppet rarely prompts this.
At about 13cm and under 30g each, silent and battery-free, they're the item we suggest for car trips, appointments and waiting rooms, where most toys are too big or too loud.

Slide a soft monkey onto a finger and it's ready to chatter, tumble and swing from the couch cushions. Three in the pack means a whole troop for solo stories or a sibling game, with no batteries and no noise. Finger puppets suit 3 to 6 years. At 3, children wiggle and name their monkeys. By 5 or 6 they're scripting whole scenes with a beginning, middle and end. Moving one finger while the others stay still builds the hand control needed for pencil grip in prep.

Also available in a great value bundle

Best suited to children who like to tell stories with their hands, and to adults who need compact, quiet play on the move.

Children aged 3 to 5 years who are building pretend play and love giving toys a voice
Shy or quieter talkers around 3 to 4 years who find it easier to speak through a character
Siblings or playdate pairs aged 4 to 6 years who want enough puppets to share and act out a scene together
Parents, grandparents and carers looking for a silent, pocket-sized item for car trips, appointments and restaurant tables
Preschool and early primary educators building circle-time songs and rhymes such as Five Little Monkeys

Three monkeys, three voices

Hand a child one monkey and you get a single character. Hand them three and the play changes. There's a big monkey and a baby monkey, a bossy one and a cheeky one, and suddenly there are relationships to act out: who stole the banana, who's hiding, who's going to be in trouble. Each puppet is about 13cm tall, palm-sized, with a thin, long tail that curls and swings as the finger moves. They can't stand up on their own, which suits puppet play. They only come alive when a child puts a finger inside and starts moving.

What the fingers are learning

Operating a finger puppet asks one finger to move while the rest of the hand stays still. That separation is the finger control behind a steady pencil grip. Bouncing a monkey along a bookshelf, tickling a sibling or peeking out from behind a cushion gives those small muscles a daily workout, and the child is too busy playing to notice. The language benefit is just as strong. Children who are shy or still finding their words often find it easier to speak through a puppet than as themselves. Giving the monkey a voice means practising sequencing (first, next, then), turn-taking and emotional vocabulary, all inside a story they've made up.

Grows with them

At 3, children wiggle the monkeys, name them and make the sounds. By 4 and 5 they're giving each one a personality and a voice. By 6 they're scripting scenes, changing the ending and directing a sibling or friend. Three puppets mean the same pack supports every stage.

Easy to take anywhere

At under 30g each, the three monkeys slip into a coat pocket or the front pouch of a school bag. They're silent, so they won't disturb anyone in a café, a waiting room or the back seat on a long drive. Play works solo, one puppet per hand, or with a friend or sibling taking the other monkeys. They also sit nicely alongside books. Pair them with a jungle story, a Five Little Monkeys rhyme or a toy zoo, and you have an instant way to act out the pages. Children start by copying the story and soon begin changing it, which is where early storytelling really takes hold.
