Are they furry or fearsome? Make a marvellous monster finger puppet and let your imagination run wild! Afterwards, try it out on our puppet theatre stage.

This week we're having fun with puppets. Use all sorts of furry, sparkly, colourful materials to make your very own monster puppet. Afterwards, take your creation to the stage and put on a show at our puppet theatre. We're sure it'll be a roaring success!
