- Beginners and children should choose marionettes with few strings, roughly head, hands and knees Every extra string adds tangling and coordination difficulty.
- Weight and joints
- Choose a wooden or weighted body with loose, free-moving joints Light, stiff figures float and jerk instead of walking convincingly.

- Marionettes generally suit school-age children and older Strings tangle quickly with young children and pose a strangulation concern.
What to avoid
- Souvenir marionettes with many fine strings bought as play toys
- Very lightweight plastic marionettes that cannot hold a pose
Questions
