13．For centuries，puppet making was the work of woodcarvers.Puppets like Pinocchio were made of pieces of wood attached at the joints.Modern puppet makers have a choice of many more materials.They can use plastic，wood，animal skin，metal，fiberglass，and other materials.Each has its own special qualities.
Puppets have been around for thousands of years.They have been popular all over the world.In each place，people have created and enjoyed puppets in ways that reflect the region's culture.
The people who make puppets come to life are called puppeteers.It takes a lot of training to be a good puppeteer.
Like other art，puppets are the result of someone's imagination.Jim Henson，creator of the Muppets，first got the idea for Kermit the Frog from a Ping-Pong ball and his mother's green felt coat.With a little imagination，just anything can be turned into a puppet.Let's look at the four different kinds of puppets.
Hand puppets
Hand puppets use the movement of your hand to give "life" to the puppet.They are usually soft-bodied puppets.Finger puppets and glove puppets are types of hand puppets.
Stick puppets
Sticks are used to support the upper body of a stick puppet.A well-known stick puppet is the dancing man，which is made of wood.It has joints that move.By bouncing the man on a table or floor，he appears to dance.
Rod puppets
Rod puppets are an advanced kind of stick puppet.Rods and wires hooked to rod puppets are used to move the puppet.Someone standing behind or below the puppet moves the rods or wires.Some rod puppets have so many moving parts that it takes two or three puppeteers to work them.
String puppets
String puppets are moved by strings or wires hooked to different parts of their bodies.The other ends of the strings or wires are hooked to a cross-shaped piece of wood.A puppeteer makes the puppet move by holding this piece of wood and moving it.String puppets can be moved in more ways than other types of puppets.They are able to dance，leap and fly.
Shadow puppets
Shadow puppets are usually flat puppets that are moved behind a screen that you can see through.The audience does not see the actual puppet.They see just the puppet's shadow cast on a screen.Since only the shadow is seen，there is no need to add details such as a painted face to a shadow puppet.
