Puppet Playtime – The Day the Crayons Quit 2026

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 The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt

About The Day the Crayons Quit

Duncan just wants to colour, but his crayons have other plans! From overworked Red to forgotten Pink, each colour has a hilarious grievance to share. Join the fun as Duncan finds a colourful solution to this playful dilemma, inspiring children to see their own crayons in a whole new way.
