Sock puppets with a mind of their own: the Living Puppets Chatterworms

Pull a sock over your hand and it can talk: the Chatterworms from Living Puppets are built on that idea, except that they arrive with a face and a personality. Mampfred the bunny shows off his front teeth, Gregor the dragon has wings on his back, and Dieter the wolf never stops talking. On most of these sock puppets the tongue moves as well as the mouth.

The craft-table classic, ready-made

Plenty of people made a sock puppet as children: an old sock, two buttons for eyes, done. The Chatterworms turn that idea into a whole family, nearly all of them with names. Living Puppets calls them sock hand puppets. The head and face are already in place, and your hand goes in at the bottom of the long, sock-like neck. If you want a sock puppet without getting out the needle and thread, a Chatterworm is the shortcut.

The Chatterworm family

  • Mrs Schnatterschnute is very sure of herself and wears her hair in two pigtails.
  • Gregor the dragon breathes no fire, but he does like to show his fangs.
  • Bille the mouse may be grey, but she never fades into the background.
  • Mampfred the bunny is a cheeky chap with extra-long ears.
  • The giraffe is so curious that her neck keeps getting longer.
  • The zebra has lost his heart to the zebra crossing on his street.
  • Tüffelchen and Büffelchen are siblings who plot pranks and build sandcastles together.
  • Fred-Jonatan the horse considers himself number one in the stable.
  • Dieter the wolf needs listeners with strong nerves.
  • Schnappelchen always has the last word.
  • Brabbelchen chatters so much that he mumbles on in his sleep.

Gregor, Fred-Jonatan and Dieter do all their talking with the mouth alone; on the others, the tongue joins in.

Who chatters with whom

Fred-Jonatan tells the zebra who is in charge of the stable, and the zebra only wants to get back to his crossing. Tüffelchen and Büffelchen hatch their next prank over dinner. Dieter talks until Schnappelchen cuts him off. When a new child joins the nursery group, Brabbelchen asks their name and carries on before they can answer.

For children and adults

The maker says the opening takes a child's hand as easily as an adult's. Because they are so easy to work, Chatterworms make a good first hand puppet from nursery age onwards. A nursery teacher slips one on in seconds when a story needs a second voice. Two Chatterworms let one player carry a whole conversation, such as Tüffelchen and Büffelchen at the sandcastle.
