Odds 'n' Ends: Punch Finger Puppet

Here is where I take the opportunity to show off some of the toys and paper models I have collected, that are only tangentially related to tabletop theater.


This Punch finger puppet was a birthday present from my wife on my thirtieth birthday.

It was created by the German toy company Trullala. Trullala Spielwaren GmbH sells a wide variety of children's dress-up costumes and puppets. This Punch/Kasper finger puppet is approximately six inches tall. Made of cotton and felt, the head is papier-mâché covered in cotton fabric.

I cannot seem to find the exact finger puppet on the Trullala website, but they have a number of other Kasper/Punch dolls. Including the hand sized version of my finger puppet seen below.
