 If you have never used a human hand puppet you are in for a real treat. A human hand puppet means that you use a human hand inside the glove of the puppet. With this method of manipulation you can get some very realistic results. You can do magic tricks, sign language or use props more easily. The human hand puppet can be used for one or two puppeteer operations. If you are only using one puppeteer, then stuff the other hand and pin it at his side or stuff it like it is in a pocket behind the puppet. Using two puppeteers takes some practice to coordinate the movements, but it is well worth the effort. The taller person does the head of the puppet. The shorter person operates the hands. One of our favorite human arm puppets is Reggie. I often forget he is not a real person. His hand gestures really make him come alive.
