Description:
We present some very colourful and exciting childcare puppet shows for early learning centres, featuring zany Muppet-style characters performing age appropriate songs, skits, jokes, games and live interaction with the audience. The puppets encourage the audience to dance, sing and play along. Creative play is very important for the 0-5 year age groups. We then present a “How the puppets work” demonstration at the end.
Total duration: 45 minutes.
Educational content – such as sharing, kindness, exercise, looking after the environment and healthy eating – can also be requested in your booking enquiry. Educational shows require the two puppeteers. In most cases we are booked to perform our regular fun and exciting early learning centre puppet show which celebrates creative play!
We also offer Story Time with Larrikin Puppets at childcare centres / early learning centres, which is a segment where Elissa reads a children’s book by an Australian author, while Troggg, Frazzamatazz and friends play along and interact with the story. More details about our story time segment here.
