What are tiny squirrel hands, anyway?

A set of Mcphee Archie Handi Squirrel hands retails for about $9 and comes with five finger puppets. It includes four squirrel hands and one tiny squirrel head, giving you a full hand of genuinely special woodland rodentry. The site’s description says it’s made of cotton, but our careful research shows that they’re actually made of rigid plastic.

It’s better that way.

Why do tiny squirrel hands exist?

We assume these were meant to be used in straight-up puppetry, but the internet has blessed us with so many more ways to use tiny squirrel hands. You don’t have to be dripping in cheap alcohol to recognize the value of these delightful little life accessories. Seriously, people are using them as Christmas tree toppers and putting them on their pets for hilarious photos.

Here’s a treasured example from an Amazon reviewer. “The endless laughter and creeped-out responses are enough to make anyone want to buy this treasure. Nothing compares to walking up to a coworker with a tiny paw on my hand and the cringe worthy response they give as everyone laughs. Now he has a new throne, Christmas tree star! There are so many possibilities, I can’t wait to see where else I can utilize my squirrel friend! Buy this, you’ll thank me later!”
