1. Everything That You Should Know About Puppets
A puppet, a small-scale figure of a living being including human, is often designed and
constructed with jointed limbs and costumed & painted and moved normally on a small stage
with the support of a rod or hand. It is normally controlled by an exterior force and its
movement is caused and is not inherent. The puppet is used to entertain the real people.
The history of puppet use is long. The Greeks were the first ones to use it for entertainment
as they were very fond of theatrical presentations and shows. They use puppets in place of
real actors. The use of puppets resembles the real characters and its movement is caused by
manipulating the wires, sticks or strings attached to hands, head, feet and limbs.
