Plush stuffed toy Elephant, marionette puppet marioneta.

Puppets let childrens' 'voice' expand through the characters. Characters can sing, speak in rhyme (OR foreign language) laugh, whisper or cry. Puppets are always available and ready friends. Playing with puppets help children develop their speaking as well as listening skills.

A marionette is a puppet controlled from above using wires or strings depending on regional variations. A marionette's puppeteer is called a marionettist.

In French, marionette means "little Mary". In France, during the Middle Ages, string puppets were often used to depict biblical events, with the Virgin Mary being a popular character, hence the name.
