Puppets are inanimate objects used to tell a story in a play or presentation. Usually puppets are characters, but not always. Puppets have been in use for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Greek civilization. They are used in shows, theaters, movies, plays and even Saturday morning cartoon shows. Some puppets are moved by strings or sticks, these are called marionettes. Others are worn like gloves and are moved by the hand.
