Puppet Playtime – The Lizard Gang 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 Lizard Gang by Kirra Somerville

About The Lizard Gang

Meet Zed, Zoro, Eliza, and Boo, a spirited gang of monitor lizards living deep in the bush. When a raging flood threatens their home, these competitive friends must put aside their arguments to reach safety. This outback tale highlights the importance of friendship and trust, proving that everyone is brave when they work as a team.
