    Hello , These look great! However I did notice that the edges are curved instead of straight, which makes it technically not an exact shape (rectangle, square etc). I normally would not mind but since this links to maths, could this be changed? thanks for your time :)

      Hi Christine, thank you for your comment. We have designed these shapes to have curved vertices to compliment the cartoon finger puppets. If you would like sharper vertices may I suggest cutting the puppets inside the cut line to reduce the curve.
