What could possibly cooler for a literature enthusiast like myself than Macbeth Finger Puppets? Nothing – that’s what. The set, available online from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, includes Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, a witch, Banquo and Macduff. My fingers tingle at the thought of doing a ‘finger-play’ for my baba as an introduction to the awesomeness of Shakespeare. These finger puppets are also fabulous for those who think that Shakespeare is overdone and overrated: my husband cannot wait to bastardise Macbeth in a ‘finger play’ that will undoubtedly serve as an ode to the lameness of Shakespeare. Either way, entertainment is guaranteed. Once hubby and I have had our fun with these little felt darlings, we will pass them on to our daughter who will hopefully enact her own little plays using the puppets. Or, most likely, she will use them as proof that her parents are embarrassingly insane: justification for any ensuing psychological problems.
