“Larrikin Puppets were fun, professional and great value. The children were in hysterics the whole show and loved meeting the puppets afterwards.”
Option 1: General Childcare Puppet Show
Our vibrant 30-minute puppet show is a perfect addition to your childcare centre incursions. Featuring zany Muppet-style characters, this engaging performance is filled with music, skits, jokes, and live audience interaction. Children are encouraged to sing, dance, and play along throughout.
