Puppetry

Puppetry is the art of using puppets to tell a story. A puppet is a doll or toy that is made to look like a person, animal, or even objects. Puppeteers (the people who control the puppets) use their hands or other objects to make the puppets move and talk like they are real.

Puppet shows can be performed live in front of an audience or on TV, movies, or even online. The puppeteers work really hard to make the puppets move and talk in a way that looks natural, like the puppets are alive.

Puppetry has been around for a very long time, and it's still popular today. People of all ages can enjoy watching puppet shows, and even learn important life lessons from them. So next time you see a puppet show, remember that it takes a lot of hard work and imagination to bring those puppets to life!
