Best Answer

Puppets are made up of foam, latex or both. Puppets can also be carved out of wood, they are called ventriloquist dummies. Puppets are used by puppeteers and ventriloquists in a puppet show. Ventriloquists make you believe that the sound is actually coming from the puppet and it is speaking since they can speak without moving their lips. If you want to have a look at the full body latex puppets try googling Allpro puppets or just latex puppets or ventriloquist dummies.

They are just like hand puppets except that you don't stick your hand inside--you stick a stick inside. In the simplest form, the arms and legs will swing freely and the mouth does not move. Additional sticks can be added to control those body parts.

The Muppet "Kermit the Frog" is an example of a hybrid puppet. The puppeteer's hand controls the mouth as with any hand puppet and the arms were controlled by a thin stick or wire. In some cases, this puppet was controlled by strings, making it a marionette.
