Live - hand Muppet A live - hand Muppet is one of the the three common types of Muppets , the others being the Full - Bodied Muppet and the Hand - Rod Muppet . The hands for these puppets are actually gloves , which the puppeteer puts his or her less dominant hand into . This way , the puppet is able to manipulate objects , like picking things up or playing a piano . These puppets tend to be large to stay in proportion with the large human - sized hands . Since the lead puppeteer has one hand in the head and the other hand in one of the puppet ' s arms , another puppeteer is usually used to operate the other hand ( or sometimes both , in more complicated scenes ) . The term for this is right - handing . This is usually done by the newest performers , and tends to be a difficult task . Because most Muppets only have four fingers , the puppeteer places the pinky and ring finger into the puppet ' s pinky finger . Examples of this type of puppet are Cookie Monster , Fozzie Bear , Ernie , The Swedish Chef , Rowlf the Dog , Dr . Bunsen Honeydew , Beaker , Sam the Eagle , Large Marvin Fraggle , all the Grouches , Rosita , Herry Monster , Baby Bear , Telly Monster , Hoots the Owl , Placido Flamingo and many others . This includes " Sesame Street " characters made out of the Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet pattern , such as Count von Count , The Amazing Mumford , Forgetful Jones , and Harvey Kneeslapper . Onky , a character created for a series of On - Cor Frozen Foods commercials , is cited as one of Jim Henson ' s earliest live - hand Muppets : Right - handing . Since the principal puppeteer often has their right arm in the puppet ' s head , they will use their left hand to manipulate the puppet ' s left arm . As such , a second puppeteer is needed to perform the puppet ' s right hand . Many Muppet performers get their start " right - handing " characters . In some cases , where both hands need to work in more complex coordination the primary performer will puppeteer the head while the assisting performer will perform both hands ( cases of this include The Swedish Chef or characters such as Rowlf the Dog or Dr . Teeth playing the piano ) . Puppeteers Dave Goelz , Steve Whitmire , and Karen Prell talk in detail about the art of " right - handing " in featured on the DVD set .
