Puppet Playtime – Where the Wild Things Are 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 Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

About Where the Wild Things Are

Calling all Wild Things, big and small! When Max puts on his wolf suit and makes mischief, his bedroom transforms into a rolling ocean and a mysterious forest. Set sail with us into Maurice Sendak’s timeless classic for a roaring rumpus that celebrates the power of imagination and the comforts of home.
