The puppet tradition is a form of entertainment that has appealed to children for generations. It dates back to the 18th century and is practiced across the Czech Republic. The puppets are crafted by hand, beginning life as a block of wood.

Today, in addition to the professional puppet theaters, there are some 3000 amateur ones in towns and villages all across the Czech Republic, with the heartland in Eastern Bohemia, where a renowned puppet museum is located. Since 1951 the Czech Republic is hosting an annual festival of amateur puppet theater, which is considered to be the oldest one of its kind in the world.
