El Puppet

Ellen Skura is the fabulous creator/designer of all of the wonderful El Puppet Puppet Creations. Since childhood Ellen has been interested in and intrigued by puppets. She began making simple sock puppets to entertain her children when they were babies. Ellen feels that puppets are an important avenue for encouraging imagination and creative play in children. She has been running her business since 1990. All are EL PUPPET original designs, created and crafted by Ellen. Many of her creations are inspired by nature and her love of fantasy. There is whimsy and fun in each puppet. Each year new characters are created to fill the desires of any child’s imagination. The fabrics are chosen for their durability, colour and textures. For Ellen, much of the fun of design is in finding just the right materials for each puppet. The puppets are safe and durable, comfortable and easy to use. Puppets are made with baby safe sew on eyes or with plastic safety eyes that are safe for ages three and up. All materials used are non toxic. There is an effort to use all of the fabric and have little waste. Many of the small pieces left over from one puppet are used as enhancement to another or to make a new and fun finger puppet. Most puppets are hand puppets but some are used like a glove and some are finger puppets.
