The current puppet shows schools’ list is available. Please DM me if you would like it sent to you. “The Adventure of Bella Butterfly” and “A Tree for all Seasons” are great spring shows, or “Fishy Adventure”, about summer and the sea. “The Ball of Happiness” is great fun for the end of the year, with the theme of kindness, helping each other and sharing. Christmas shows “A Present for Santa”, “Rudolph’s Adventure” or “Rudolph on Safari” are also fun, and are inclusive and non religious. Other shows recommended for early in the year are “Brave Little Tiger”, “Numbi, the Shy Giraffe”, “A Visit to Storyland” and “Shape Up!” (colour and shape).
Here are some highlights from the last few years:
