How Our Puppet Shows Support EYLF 2.0 & QKLG
Our live puppet shows offer a fun, interactive experience that aligns with both the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) 2.0 and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG). These frameworks guide early childhood education and support key learning outcomes in a child’s development.
Our shows include:
Kindness and Anti Bullying Puppet Show
Health and Wellbeing Puppet Show
Marina’s Marine Adventure Puppet Show
Our Planet At Play: Environmental Sustainability Puppet Show
Additionally, our Puppet Play And Communication Program with Larrikin Puppets is a practical, highly interactive class where children have the opportunity to play with a selection of 25 hand puppets, folk puppets and finger puppets. Together we learn how to make puppets talk, move, sing, dance and tell stories.
