There are several categories of puppets. There are marionettes
with strings and rod puppets that are mounted on and operated by
a stick with a mouth control. You will also find shadow puppets
and hand puppets that are very much a glove puppet. Large mouth
puppets like those of the Muppets are what many of us think
about when we think of a puppet. As you go along you will find
there are even more types of puppets than those listed above.
Anything that you can give the illusion of life can be a puppet.
