- Available exclusively from One Way UK.
Puppet options explained:
- Arm Rods – To truly get the most out of your puppet, we always recommend adding a pair of arm rods to animate your puppet’s arms. Easily attached with an elastic band around the wrist of the puppet, they can now point, scratch their head, fold their arms, applaud and even more.
Standard Rods (+£6) – Our original wooden handle with steel rod design
Stealth Rods (+£9.99) – Upgrade to our beautifully made ‘stealth’ rods. These arm rods are finished with a matt black coating to help them disappear and blend into the background. - Puppet Storage Bag – These are made exclusively for One Way UK and are suitable for up to two large puppets. With a clear window so you can see who is inside, an arm rod storage slot and a hanging hook for easy transport and storage, they really are the best way of keeping your puppets safe, clean and ready to perform.
- Full Body – Enhance your puppet with legs to create a complete puppet that can be taken outside of the stage and used for storytelling, solo performances/puppetry or interacting with the audience.
Standard Full Body (+£50) – The entry to the puppet is still in the same position as the half body version (at the base), but two legs to match the style of the arms are added to the front of the puppet.
Vent Full Body (+£100) – The body of the puppet is adapted so that the entry position for your hand is now at the back of the body making the puppet rest in a natural position which is easy to operate alongside you. The legs are also attached lower down, creating a more authentic ‘standing’ position for your puppet.

How’ie could you not love Howie the cow…he is amazing! While there are not as many Bible stories about cows…as there are for sheep, I just couldn’t resist getting Howie when we were starting to think about putting together a ‘Puppet Nativity’, where the Christmas Story was told through the eyes of animal witnesses…Howie having been at the Stable on the night that Jesus was born. He is very good at ‘lowing’ and loves to join in with ‘Away in a Manger’ whenever he can. All of One Way UK’s puppets are incredible detailed, with so much care put into them…but I particularly like the thought that has been put into Howie (and Angus too) with his horns and ring through his nose…which makes him instantly recognisable as a cow/bull. The choice of fabric…cream with brown markings, in the case of Howie, is stunning and really does add to the overall impact of the puppet. So while there might not be as many applications for a cow (as some of the other animals available) I certainly don’t think that you would regret getting either Howie…or Angus.
