hand puppet
Worn storytelling figure
A hand puppet is a puppet operated by inserting the hand into its hollow body, with fingers controlling the head and arms.
Unlike marionettes controlled by strings from above, hand puppets respond to direct manipulation: She made the hand puppet wave at the children.
Sock puppets are a simple homemade variety.
