Right.  Ellen is great and is wonderful with kids. That idea came from her 
years with the Great Arizona Puppet Theater.  You can also make horses, 
elephants, anything with four legs, and there are only 2 strings so they 
don't tangle easily.  I originally did some people, too, but the kids tangle 
them too easily.
