In the early years, creativity and imagination need to be nurtured. When children need to design their own unique finger puppets, choosing the concept and designing the colours and shapes can stimulate their creative thinking and help them express their ideas and feelings. This activity can also help young children showcase their own personalities and ideas. In this case, this activity allows children to progress and grow through play.

According to Fox and Schirrmacher(2014), the element of art The balance is unusual and intriguing (Fox & Schirrmacher, 2014, p. 129) Children can relate to the concept of balance and imbalance by applying plaster and making finger puppet molds. Children need to carefully wrap and apply plaster to their fingers to ensure an even application, as an uneven coating of plaster may result in a puppet that does not support itself well. When creating more elaborate shapes for the plaster base, there is a need to be exposed to imbalance, and often what is balanced does not have the ultimate beauty, but rather the imbalance gives a more realistic feel to the design. And when painting the plaster model, it is not possible to achieve 100% uniformity, so unbalanced design is also involved.
