Puppet Story Time
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Through Me To You Puppetry invites you to join Newton and the gang for  Puppet Story Time!  Newton and his puppet friends take turns reading stories  and singing songs with the children.  At the end of the 30-minute show, his  “Mom,” Leigh, gives the kids a brief demo of various puppet styles (moving  mouth puppets, glove puppets, arm & rod puppets, finger puppets). The children will then have an opportunity to explore some of the puppets Leigh & Newton  bring to share during Puppet Free Play!

This will be a ticketed event due to limited space. You don't have to register, but make sure to get here early to get your ticket!
