Tiny Giants: Make Your Own Puppet at Osidge Library

Join us for Tiny Giants, a whimsical and interactive puppetry workshop designed for children aged 5–11! 🌟 In this engaging hands-on experience, kids will breathe life into everyday materials that often go unnoticed, using their creativity to tell stories and make unique puppets.

📦 What to Expect:
Participants will be guided step by step in creating their very own puppet using found materials like newspaper, tin foil, scraps of plastic, and even clean old socks! As they construct their puppets, they’ll develop characters inspired by their chosen materials, exploring the fascinating journeys these objects have undergone.

🕺 Once the puppets are ready, the group will come together to animate them through exciting drama games and storytelling. Together, they will create a short performance where their characters embark on a thrilling adventure in an unfamiliar landscape.

🎉 Each child will leave with their own handmade puppet and a treasure trove of new ideas to spark their imagination!
