Capacitive finger puppet for use on touchscreen devices

A method for manipulating a capacitive touchscreen device comprising:

• providing an apparatus comprising:
• a rigid or semi-rigid body element having an exterior side and a hollow interior side defining a cavity that is sized to receive and substantially surround at least a portion of a finger of a user;
• and one or more contact points on the exterior side of the body element, wherein each contact point when placed into contact with a touchscreen device provides and/or channels an electrical charge to the touchscreen device, and wherein at least one contact point comprises an appendage of an animal or humanoid;
• inserting the finger of user into the cavity of the body element;
• and
• contacting a surface of a touchscreen device such that the electrical charge of the one or more contact points is received by the touchscreen device;
• wherein at least one conductive insert is disposed longitudinally on the interior side of the body element, wherein the conductive insert is in electrical communication with the one or more contact points at a proximal point and extends at a longitudinal distance from the proximal point so that when the cavity receives the finger of the user, and when the conductive insert is in contact with the finger at a point distal to the proximal point and the proximal point is not in contact with the finger, an electrical charge is transferred and/or channeled from the finger to the one or more contact points via the conductive insert.
