2. Puppetry Books: There are many great books about the art of puppetry that can inspire and educate your dad even further. You could get him books that cover the history of puppetry or books with puppet building guides.

3. Custom-made puppets: You could take the puppetry theme to the next level by gifting custom-made puppets that your dad will fall in love with. Look for artists who specialize in creating unique, handcrafted puppets that can add to his collection. Places such as Etsy offer a great platform for artisans to showcase their pieces.

4. Theatre Performance: Consider taking your dad to a theatre performance involving puppets. Likely he would appreciate seeing the art live and observe any new techniques or styles on display.

5. Puppetry Heritage Tour: You can also plan a tour or a trip to a puppetry festival or museum to explore the living traditions of puppetry across a range of cultures. There are puppetry festivals that are held world-wide.
