FAQs
What age is the Ballerina Finger Puppet recommended for?
This puppet is generally recommended for children aged 3 years and older due to small parts. Adult supervision is advised for younger children.
How large is the finger puppet?

Can the clothes be removed?
The embroidered outfits are part of the puppet's design and are not removable.
Is the wood used safe for children?
Fiesta Crafts products are typically made with child-safe materials. The wooden components are designed for play.
How should I clean the puppet if it gets dirty?
Spot clean the fabric parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe the wooden head with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
Can this puppet be used for educational purposes?
Yes, finger puppets are excellent tools for developing language skills, storytelling, emotional expression, and fine motor coordination.
Troubleshooting
Puppet feels stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the child's finger is placed correctly within the puppet's casing. Sometimes a slight adjustment in finger position can improve movement. Check for any external obstructions.
Fabric is snagged or threads are loose.
Carefully snip any loose threads with small, sharp scissors to prevent further unraveling. For minor snags, gently try to tuck them back in.
Wooden head has a minor scratch.
For very light scratches, you might consider a touch-up with a non-toxic wood polish if available, but often these are part of normal wear and tear for wooden toys.
