Collect those odd socks – holes and all, the crazier the better and let the kids create something wonderful in our Trashy Hand Puppet workshop with Christine from Hands Alive Puppet theatre. Kids create their own puppet character or pet and then enjoy making their own character come alive using the techniques of puppetry ‘movement is the key’!
