Dive into a world of creativity and puppets!

This imaginative and playful course uses drama and hands-on creativity to help children build confidence, social skills, and self-expression.

Students will have the chance to explore TAPAC’s puppet collection and design and create their own unique shadow puppets!

Puppetry is a wonderful way to help shy children step out of their shells—sometimes it’s easier to express yourself through the character on your hand.

The course will finish with a small performance at 2:45pm on the final day, where children can proudly showcase their puppet creations.
