Mašek Puppets
Step for a moment into a world where good triumphs over evil. Every child can slip into a fairy tale and experience it from a completely different angle. With a simple movement of the hand – like a magic wand – the character comes to life. Just as Geppetto made Pinocchio, we make puppets that come alive.
We follow one of the most precious cultural traditions in the Czech lands – Czech puppetry, recognised by UNESCO – and we are proud to be part of it. Inspired by history, our family has continued this beautiful craft for more than 50 years. Nothing makes us happier than the joy our puppets bring into the world.
Much of our work focuses on puppets and puppet theatres for children – available in selected toy stores and in our own shop. Puppets are also a popular souvenir – after all, they are a true Czech product. Thanks to their educational value and the way they develop children in many areas, we also supply kindergartens. Many adults choose a puppet as a unique gift, and we make custom marionettes for amateur and professional puppet companies as well.
Our puppets
We believe a puppet is a wonderful companion for every generation. That’s why we make simple rod puppets for the youngest children as well as large stage marionettes for adults. For us, 100% functionality and uncompromising quality are essential. Our long tradition shows us the way – and all materials we use are tested and safe.

Puppet theatres
The lights dim and the curtain opens. Do you know that excitement at the start of a performance – and the feeling afterwards? How about experiencing it at home?
A hundred years ago, family puppet theatres were a huge hit – and anyone who has one at home knows why. We adapted puppet theatres to today’s needs, so the fun for the whole family can start in your home too.
We make them easy to use, compact, sturdy and high‑quality. We offer free scripts, props, scenes and our widest selection of puppets.
For inspiration, we film fairy tales with our theatres for you to watch online.
