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 (normally about 35cm tall), they can be very detailed, and we 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.
