A hand-rod puppet, a style developed by Jim Henson, is a puppet which is controlled by both hands. The puppeteer's dominant hand goes into the head of the puppet, operating the mouth, and at times, facial features. The puppeteer's less dominant hand controls the "arm rods", thin rods connected to the puppet's hand or hands. Arm rods tend to be painted black, and have wooden dowels connected at the bottom for easier grip. The Muppets Make Puppets! included a section on hand-rod puppets.

  • A hand-rod puppet, a style developed by Jim Henson, is a puppet which is controlled by both hands. The puppeteer's dominant hand goes into the head of the puppet, operating the mouth, and at times, facial features. The puppeteer's less dominant hand controls the "arm rods", thin rods connected to the puppet's hand or hands. Arm rods tend to be painted black, and have wooden dowels connected at the bottom for easier grip. Popular examples of this type of puppet are Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Bert, Elmo and Grover. Hand-rod puppets tend to have smaller arms and hands than live-hand puppets, in order to be proportionate to their body. The Muppets Make Puppets! included a section on hand-rod puppets.
