Animate Puppet

The bard embodies a minor spirit into an inorganic puppet, toy, or doll of Tiny size, imbuing it with a semblance of life. The puppet is non-sentient but behaves appropriate to its character (e.g. a toy soldier is brave, a toy dog barks cutely at intruders), and attempts to follow the caster's instructions to the best of its ability (e.g. "pick up that key and bring it here", "pretend to be asleep", "tell me what you saw in the nursery"). It cannot directly attack. While the puppet is in sight, the caster can speak telepathically through the puppet in its voice (if it has one), lending the spell to flawless ventriloquism acts.
