Puppet Parade

Bring your child's imagination to life at our Puppet Parade! Designed for children ages 2-8, this hour-long workshop invites young creators to craft their very own puppet, give it a unique name, and bring it to life through storytelling and imaginative play. Each child will take home their handcrafted puppet as a keepsake of their creative adventure.

This fun and interactive workshop is all about sparking creativity and confidence through play. Kids will not only use their hands to build something magical—they’ll also explore the power of their voice and imagination by bringing their puppet into a story of their own. It’s a joyful hour of crafting, pretending, and celebrating the wonderful world of make-believe.

Will their puppet be a friendly fox, a dancing dinosaur, or a completely new creature never seen before? Children are encouraged to imagine anything they like—maybe their puppet lives in a treehouse, runs a cupcake bakery, or explores outer space with a jetpack. Through guided storytelling and play, kids will have the chance to explore their ideas and express themselves in a playful, supportive space where all puppets (and stories!) are welcome.

Note: Our classes are free for now! We do plan to introduce a fee in the future, but for now, we just hope you'll join us and have a great time. Donations are always welcome, but never expected. Your presence is what matters most!
