Our handmade custom glove puppets are a popular choice as they are very easy to use, even for toddlers. They are our most affordable option. We can make them individually and wholesale, in quantities ranging from 1-50. They are all handmade in our Edinburgh workshop. Our glove puppets can be made with 2D or 3D faces.
Our Custom Glove Puppets:
- are smaller than hand puppets
- have movable heads and arms
- don’t have moving mouths
- are a maximum of 45cm tall

Likeness Glove Puppets
Create a custom glove puppet that looks like you!
Our glove puppets have a basic glove shape, and a head and arms which can be easily operated using your fingers. If you’re looking for a moving mouth, see our hand puppets. Even though our personalised glove puppets are small (they are about 35cm tall), they can be very detailed, and I put a lot of effort in to make them as close to your design as possible. We can make them as likenesses based on a photo of someone, bespoke glove puppets from children’s drawings, and, most often, puppets for schools and education resource companies based on characters they use in their schemes of work.
