Puppet Making with Polka Theatre
Thursday 9 April 2026 at 10:00AM
Wallington Library
Event Description
Join Polka Theatre for a heart-warming puppetry workshop at Wallington Library, perfect for families to enjoy together.
Inspired by Ruby's Worry, this interactive session invites children aged 4–8 and their grown-ups to explore the story of Ruby and her growing worry. Through lively, interactive storytelling, Polka's practitioners will help bring the book to life using movement, sound and imagination. Together, we’ll gently explore themes of feelings, friendship and emotional resilience, creating a safe and supportive space for children to recognise and talk about their emotions.
Then, inspired by the characters and themes of the story, children and their grown-ups will design and make their own simple puppets, ready to take home and use to retell Ruby's Worry in your own unique way!
