Join us for Puppet Playtime, a magical adventure crafted for children aged 3 to 5.  Journey into the beloved story of Thelma the Unicorn by Aaron Blabey as we foster curiosity, imagination, and social-emotional well-being through a blend of storytelling and creative activities.

Each 90-minute session starts with a captivating performance and reading of Thelma the Unicorn, brought to life by a talented performer. After the story, you and your child will participate in three hands-on activities that spark creativity, play and compassion. With small group sizes, Puppet Playtime offers a personalised and immersive experience, making every moment special and memorable.


About Thelma The Unicorn

Thelma is an ordinary pony who longs to be more. But when her dream to be a unicorn comes true she discovers that fame isn't all it's cracked up to be! This delightful tale of glittery dreams and unexpected self-discovery delivers a positive message about self-acceptance and the pitfalls of trying to be someone you're not.
