More than 100 models of finger puppets hand sewn by working mothers from the Bolivian city of El Alto. Each one is made entirely by hand with acrylic yarn that ensures durability and easy washing. These puppets meet US safety standards on toys for 2 year old children and are sold in several toyshops in Canada and the US.

We are a group of 14 migrant Aymara women who live in El Alto. Our puppets are of very high quality. We already export them but began to be exploited so we decided to become independent. Each puppet is made by hand with fine details because we want to keep our customers. We can make any design based on a picture or drawing.

For us this work is essential in order to provide for the health and education for our children, many of them are already professionals thanks to this work. Our husbands work at odd jobs or we are single mothers, so the puppets have fed us, we just need steady work to sustain us and our families.
