About us
25 years of Living Puppets®
The Living Puppets® celebrate their 25th birthday in 2025 and look back on a quarter of a century full of exciting and creative hand puppets. It all began in 2000 with the first six hand puppets. Since then, new hand puppets and hand puppets have been developed continuously. The range now consists of more than 300 different figures: human hand puppets, fantasy figures, animal puppets, chattering worms, wishful thinking cuddly shell cushions®, the Monstertogo! and the Dösbaddel-Collection. Not forgetting our licence classics from the world-famous ‘Sesame Street’, ‘Wiwaldi Show’ and ‘Woozle Goozle’. Of course, not all hand puppet creations are still in the programme, but some have become real collector's rarities.

Product development is a creative process! From idea to product: Does anyone want to know how it works? First, there are ideas for new hand puppet creations! These are recorded and made in the form of sketches.
The development process is accompanied by our experienced toy safety experts. The perfect pattern then comes into production, which is done under strict conditions of our quality management. This includes safety assessments, test plans and tests acc. EN71 and for the US ASTM tests. The quality control during and after production ensures that we have truly safe products for our Living Puppets fans upon delivery. In addition, the Living Puppets hand puppets are closely examined by an independent testing institute. Almost all puppets are washable at 30 ° C (gentle cycle) or hand washable.
