What is a "rod puppet"?
A rod puppet is a type of puppet that is controlled by one or more rods attached to different parts of its body. The puppeteer manipulates the rods to make the puppet move, such as raising its arms or making its head turn. The body of a rod puppet is usually made from materials like fabric or wood, and the puppet often has a large, expressive face. Rod puppets are commonly used in puppet shows, theater performances, and television, offering a way to create fluid and controlled movements. They are popular for their ability to perform detailed actions, adding to the visual storytelling.
