Bagpuss

Bagpuss and his friends in the shop came to life when a new object was found, and told fantastical stories inspired by the simplest of artefacts. Here are two classic examples:

Elephant

The Ballet Shoe

Fingerbobs

Fingerbobs was a 70s TV series that told stories through objects found by a range of characters. The animals – notably Fingermouse – were obviously human hands made into a character by the simplest of paper additions, and told a story through objects they found.
