Bookbug

The Edinburgh Fringe is starting this weekend! Why not put on your very own show in your living room with our finger puppet set?

Avoid the crowds AND spend quality time with your wee one – what's not to love? 💛 (Bonus points for doing different voices for Incy-Wincy, Twinkle-Twinkle and all the other characters!)

You'll always be a star perfomer in your child's eyes, and their favourite one to watch ⭐
