Join us for Puppet Playtime!
Puppet Playtime is an interactive experience specially crafted for children aged 3 to 5. Designed to nurture their creativity and love for storytelling, each session brings a beloved children’s book to life through the art of puppetry.
This month’s feature story is Brother Moon by Maree McCarthy Yoelu and Samantha Fry.
About Brother Moon
Brother Moon is a tender story of family, culture, and connection to Country. Hippy-Boy is captivated when Great-Grandpa Liman tells him the mysterious story of his brother and how he serves as a guide for hunting, fishing, and understanding the natural world. This beautifully illustrated story invites readers to reflect on the wisdom passed down through generations and the importance of listening to and respecting nature.
LISTEN: Gather round as our talented performer presents the story in their unique performance style.
CREATE: Explore the story and its themes through creative play activities. Adults / caregivers are essential to this part of Puppet Playtime and at every session there will be something to create and take home to treasure.
PLAY: Engage in puppet play, making sounds and music, games, and other interactive play. Listen to the story retold with your creation in hand and see your child’s imagination soar!
