Catherine Thomas Puppets

Toto Rod Puppet

Toto was commissioned by MET Academy Ltd for a Youth Theatre production of The Wizard of Oz.  The front rod controls the turning and nodding of the head and the rear rod controls the wagging of the tail.

 

I was delighted to learn that the girl chosen to operate Toto was able to overcome her natural shyness when on stage with the puppet.
