Do you have room in your heart and your home for Winslow?! 🥹 Made by Luna’s Puppets all the way over in Washington, USA, Winslow is a top-quality puppet from a company that’s crafted designs for some big TV shows and performances. He’s been hanging out in our office for a few years now, but it’s time for him to find a new home where he can really shine! Originally bought for a show that sadly never made it to the stage thanks to the pandemic, Winslow’s still in perfect condition and is just waiting to be loved and used. Here’s what he can do / his key specs: 👉 There are two ways to perform with him – through the back of his neck or the bottom of his body! 👉 Sleeved (live hand) arms, vacuum-formed fangs, and a silicone tongue 👉 Animatronic features like blinking eyes, perking ears, and snap-on legs 👉 Oh and he’s super comfy and secure to operate! We paid over £1500 to get Winslow over to the UK, but we’re looking for offers around £800. You can either collect him from Bridgnorth, Shropshire, or we’re happy to ship within the UK. If you’d like to give Winslow a new home, send us a message! #ReachOutArts #AnimatronicPuppet #WinslowThePuppet #ForSale

Day two at the @ludlowfood festival, let's do it! We had a great day yesterday, doing crafts, playing games, dressing up, bread plaiting and SO much more!

📚🧳 Our Suitcase Storyteller is trading in suncream for scarves as the weather cools down, but don’t worry - there’s still plenty of room for a treasure trove of books and props! We’re now taking bookings for the Autumn/Winter term, and our Suitcase Storyteller workshops are perfect for EYFS/KS1 students. These sessions go beyond traditional storytelling; our Suitcase Storyteller brings stories to life with props, puppets, costumes, and a sprinkle of imagination! After diving into the book, students will explore the story through engaging activities like music, dance, and games, making literature fun and accessible for everyone. Whether you're introducing reading or expanding your students’ understanding of stories, we have a range of books and themes to match your learning objectives. #Storytelling #SuitcaseStoryteller #EYFS #KS1 #ReachOutArts #AutumnWinterTerm

Today is Makaton International Awareness Day and we’re proud to have incorporated Makaton into our activities here at ReachOut Arts! Using Makaton has not only helped us break down communication barriers but also created a more welcoming and engaging environment for everyone involved. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to express themselves and connect with others, and Makaton helps us make that possible. Happy Makaton International Awareness Day! #MakatonAwareness #InternationalMakatonAwarenessDay #ReachOutArts #MakatonAware #educationalworkshops #makatoninternationalawarenessday

Thank you to everyone who joined us, we hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as we did! See you next summer? #ReachOutArts #OakengatesCouncil #TheWakes #SummerActivities #communityfun
