Someone, somewhere once thought it would be a good idea to make jiggly rubber monsters for kids to stick on their fingers, leading to decades of all different varieties of these little weirdos being doled out as cheapo prizes in places like arcades, fun fairs and dentists offices. Some of them are simple and some of them look like creatures out of crazy nightmares, but all of them are fun! Below, we'll take a look at different kinds of monster finger puppets over the years. Since I already featured Russ brand finger puppets in a different post they won't be included in this one, but you can check those out here. CLASSIC FINGER MONSTERS These guys are the simplest, most old school monster finger puppets. They usually have googly eyes, gaping mouths, flailing arms and are made of soft, jiggler-style rubber. Sometimes they're translucent and sometimes they're solid, but they almost always have sloppy paint details. These weirdos have been around for decades, and versions of them are still being sold today as party favors and the like! HALLOWEEN FINGER MONSTERS Here's some creepers you can stick on your fingers to celebrate the 31st of October. I'm not sure when exactly these molds originated, but they've been around for many-a-Halloween. In fact, I've seen versions of them available as recently as this year. As you can see below there were clear colored versions produced at some point too, but they don't pop up as frequently. They're probably bootlegs of the originals. MONSTER FACE FINGER PUPPETS This is a different variety of finger puppet that are just big heads you stick your fingers into to make them look like they're talking. These turned up all the time in the '80s and '90s (and maybe even before that), but versions of some molds are still being produced today too. How awesome is that face-melting dude? RANDOM FINGER MONSTERS Here's a bunch more that don't fit into the above categories. Lots of cheap, freaky goodness. Bizarro creepers from the late 80s / early 90s I think these were sold as a set of party favors Witch fingers These are awesomely grotesque. From the '90s I think. Wacky face weirdos that turned up in different forms over the years Colorful horror creeps I think these monsters had sticky tongues that came out of their mouth holes Zombies. These are recent, from within the past few years And there you go -- a bunch of dastardly degenerates for your digits. It's pretty amazing how many monster finger puppets have been produced over the years. The ones shown here is probably just scratching the surface. What about you? Do you remember collecting any of these or have any types not shown in this post?

I went thrifting today, and had some great luck. I got several old wooden alphabet blocks, a big bag of vintage white buttons, a glass jar filled with wooden spools, and a small beat up looking hardware shelf with plastic drawers (rusty blue metal!). Here's the best thing, though...I saw this wooden stacking toy from the 40's the last time I was at a local antique mall. I drooled over it then, but it was too expensive. It was still there today, but on sale! It's mine now. I just love it so much. Look at that patina. LOVE!

Full disclosure, I’m a ‘90s kid, born and bred. The ‘90s run in my veins and I’m very much a kid of that era! You wouldn’t believe the level of nostalgia I have for the era. It’s utterly ridiculous how much I miss watching Sunday morning cartoons while eating a huge bowl of cereal and playing with my beloved toys. (All at once, of course—I’m a fantastic multitasker when it comes to doing the things that I love.)
