For kids aged 3 to 5

Puppet Playtime is an interactive experience specially crafted for children aged 3 to 5. Designed to nurture their creativity and love for storytelling, each session brings a beloved children’s book to life through the art of puppetry.

This month’s feature story is When I Grow Up by Tim Minchin.

About When I Grow Up

Inspired by Tim Minchin's hit song from Matilda the Musical, When I Grow Up offers a funny look at all the things children dream of doing when they’re grown-ups. With playful illustrations and heartfelt lyrics, this story celebrates childhood imagination and reminds us to hold on to wonder and curiosity at any age.
