Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi

These are glove puppets made in felt for my son when he was younger and was hardly talking (about 8 or 9). He was more inclined to talk to puppets than people, I suppose partly because they don't really look directly at you and also they don't have changing facial expressions.

They were all the same outline sewn round the edges in their shirt colour, then different features and trouser colours added to the front. He had a clearout the other day and, although some items from his younger days remain, these were thrown out. He has moved on and now prefers real people to talk to.
