Two simple types of puppets are the finger puppet, which is a tiny puppet that fits onto a single finger, and the sock puppet, which is formed and operated by inserting one's hand inside a sock, with the opening and closing of the hand simulating the movement of the puppet's "mouth." The sock puppet is a type of hand puppet, which is controlled using one hand that occupies the interior of the puppet and moves the puppet around. The actions, gestures and spoken parts acted out by the puppeteer with the puppet are typically used in storytelling. The puppeteer often speaks in the voice of the character of the puppet, and then synchronizes the movements of the puppet's mouth with this spoken part. The puppeteer buses movements of their hands, arms, or control devices such as rods or strings to move the body, head, limbs, and in some cases the mouth and eyes of the puppet. They range from very simple in construction and operation to very complex. There are many different varieties of puppets, and they are made from a wide range of materials, depending on their form and intended use. Puppetry is an ancient form of theatre which dates back to the 5th century BC in Ancient Greece.
