Hand - Rod Muppet A hand - rod puppet , a style developed by Jim Henson , is a puppet which is controlled by both hands . The puppeteer ' s dominant hand goes into the head of the puppet , operating the mouth , and at times , facial features . The puppeteer ' s less dominant hand controls the " arm rods " , thin rods connected to the puppet ' s hand or hands . Arm rods tend to be painted black , and have wooden dowels connected at the bottom for easier grip . Popular examples of this type of puppet are Kermit the Frog , Miss Piggy , Gonzo , Bert , Elmo and Grover . Hand - rod puppets tend to have smaller arms and hands than live - hand puppets , in order to be proportionate to their body . " The Muppets Make Puppets ! " included a section on hand - rod puppets . Single Hand . By moving the rod , the puppeteer can move the arm of the Muppet . In most cases , the dominant hand of the Muppet character is the character ' s left hand - - the inverse of the right - handed puppeteer . The Muppet ' s other arm ( usually the right ) is posed in a neutral position at their side , or just left limp . Dual - Hand . In specific cases when a character has to move both arms , a dual - rod method is employed - - in such instances as clapping , waving arms , dancing , etc . The single puppeteer usually controls both arm rods . The arm movement is slightly limited – - usually resulting in the arms moving somewhat together . Moving the two rods believably is similar to learning how to use chopsticks . In rare cases , a second puppeteer may assist with a second rod . Rods are occasionally used to move other body parts or joints as well . For example , there are some scenes in " The Muppet Show " with Kermit sitting on a wall , and occasionally tapping his foot or moving his leg . The extra rods are performed by a second puppeteer . Removing the Rods . In the more recent Muppet movies and productions , the rods are digitally removed to hide the effect . Brian Henson said in the " Muppet Treasure Island " DVD commentary that " in the movies we remove them in the computer , because techniques have moved along so quickly that all the rods will be gone in " Muppets from Space " , for instance . . . Nowadays , when we make a Muppet movie , we pretty much do whatever we want with the arm rods and remove them later . "
