1 – Make a Penguin puppet
Inspired by the live show: The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin, but just as effective as a standalone activity.

Time required: The video is half an hour but covers two sessions. Firstly there is a fully guided process to make the puppet. The puppets will then ideally need to dry overnight before being painted the next day (if this is not possible there is an option for painting directly onto the puppet without the papier-mâché final layer).

2 – Make a Pinocchio puppet
Inspired by the live show: Pinocchio, but just as effective as a standalone activity.

EQUIPMENT/RESOURCES REQUIRED

 

3 – Make a Pig puppet
Inspired by the live show: The Three Little Pigs, but just as effective as a standalone activity.

4 – Make a catchy song
With Niki and Dom, for ages 6+
No musical experience or instruments required! Niki and Dom will help you understand Beat, Baseline, Mood and Subject, before making your own catchy song. Split into manageable chunks, there are opportunities to both join in or experiment by yourself. Suitable for both families and schools; working solo, in pairs or small groups. 

Encourages improvisation, risk-taking, expression, teamwork and listening skills. Inspired by the live show: Pinocchio, but just as effective as a standalone activity.
