Spellboundpuppets – Puppet shows (also Online) and puppet making for parties and all special occasions

Welcome to my website!

The magic of puppets will bring a new dimension to your classroom, party or fundraising event, leaving children (and adults) with special memories!

Spellbound Puppets have been performing at schools, birthday parties and special events full time since 1989. The puppet shows incorporate themes that encourage laughter, creative thinking, non-violence, participation and love of nature. Shows are performed for a wide spectrum of audiences, and are adapted with sensitivity to particular educational, religious or other concerns.

The shows are performed mainly in English, but can also be partially in Afrikaans, German or with some Zulu brought in.

The option of puppet show plus puppet making is also very popular.

Trained as a teacher, after completing an arts degree, I have taught both pre- and primary school. I also travelled with puppets in Israel, Turkey and Germany. Since 1989 I have been performing full time as a puppeteer, and have never looked back! I have also written a book “A Spider in the Library” (publ Tafelberg 1995) for ages 9-14.

Spellbound Puppets is also available online. Invite friends and relatives to join your party from all over the world to celebrate your child’s special day. Choose from over thirty shows especially adapted for the online-friendly puppet theatre. Or order a video cameo, (2-3 minutes) sent to the birthday child with a special birthday message from the puppets.
