Hand puppets are fun for kids, but these knitted toys really don’t quite hold the appeal today that they had in say, the 1500′s. So, how do you jazz up hand puppets so that people actually want to play with them today? Star Wars of course. More specifically, a Sarlacc pit.

Everyone wants to stick their hand inside a pit with a giant freaky monster living inside of it. Go ahead, put it on your hand and chomp down that Boba Fett figure. While you’re at it, go for young Anakin, and really get Jar Jar good. And Sarlacc pits love Ewoks too!

The knit Sarlacc pit hand puppet was made by pandacatification and unlike the real thing, it won’t need a thousand years to digest it’s victims. Take it to the beach and bury it, surprising your friends.
