Puppet Playtime Taking the Fun on Tour

8 November, 2023

We are beyond excited to announce our upcoming tour of our early years program, Puppet Playtime! Lovingly designed for curious minds and busy hands, Puppet Playtime encourages curiosity, imagination and social and emotional wellbeing.

Directed by acclaimed puppetry artist Bec Bradley, the Puppet Playtime tour will feature Mem Fox’s classic Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge brought to life by talented performers, hands on creative learning activities and puppet making.

Puppet Playtime is for kids aged 3 to 5, accompanied by their favourite adult.
