This document provides an introduction to different puppet styles. It defines puppets and discusses the four main categories of puppet styles: direct, indirect, remote control, and combination. Direct puppets involve direct contact between the puppeteer and puppet. Examples given are finger, hand, body, and mask puppets. Indirect puppets are controlled through extensions like rods or strings, such as marionettes and shadow puppets. Remote control puppets are animated mechanically. Combination puppets use multiple control methods, like the Muppets which are part hand and part rod puppets. The document provides examples and videos for each category.
