Puppet Playtime October 2024

Puppet Playtime October 2024

Join us for Puppet Playtime!

Puppet Playtime gives children aged 3 to 5 the opportunity to engage in a new experience of storytelling and puppetry. Each session features a popular children’s book, with an acclaimed WA performer presenting the story in their unique performance style.  This can include puppetry, musical accompaniment, object theatre, movement and dance, and more. The world of puppetry is vast, and attendees will learn about a new element of puppetry each month. Each session, children will craft a puppet designed by our talented puppetry professionals.

This month’s feature story is The Bunyip and the Stars by Adam Duncan.

About The Bunyip and the Stars

Ngariin and Wumbirr are BRAVE and TOUGH and SUPER SMART. But when a terrible bunyip captures Wumbbirr, can Ngariin use everything she knows about Country to outwit him? Journey through the Australian bush and discover the importance of courage, family bonds, and understanding the land.
