We had so much fun yesterday chatting to lots of families about our project proposal for "Puppet Pals" at the Voting Event for Transforming the Early Years in East Belfast Innovation Fund with Save the Children NI & Eastside Early Learning Community. 🤩🎉

Keeping everything crossed we are successful and can bring the pure JOY of puppet play and creation to lots of young children and their caregivers 🌟

Children and families in east Belfast cast their votes yesterday (Thursday, November 27) in a fun ballot to determine which ideas come to life as part of Save the Children NI’s Innovation Fund.

Something a wee bit different... ☺️

I have this second-hand wooden Melissa & Doug play castle (I originally bought from a charity shop for my lo, so I think there's maybe some wee bits missing, and some wear and tear but still very playable!)

I would love to give it to someone with a little person who would absolutely love to play with it this Christmas. For free! 🏰

If you know anyone or even a nursery or preschool setting who would be interested please either tag them below or send me a message and I can arrange for them to get it.

☺️

Edit to add: if there's lots of interest I'll put names in to a hat 🤶🏻

I had a really lovely morning with the brilliant kids and staff at Killyleagh Integrated Primary and Nursery School today! I knew it was going to be a brilliant session when I walked into the room and I received a lovely warm welcome with lots of smiles and waves. 😍
It's an absolute pleasure to do what I do and it means the world to me to be invited in to your settings. Thank you!! It really is an honour to bring the Squiggles & Giggles joy to lots of little ones. 💖💖💖

Last week I shared the exciting news that my project idea has made it through to the voting stages happening next Thursday (27th November) at Skainos Centre, East Belfast.

I'm even more excited now to share with you a wee taster of my project and my logo design 🤩 (what do you think?)

Introducing:

✨Puppet Pals✨
A Playful Project for little people and their parents.

This lovely project will see little people and their adults create their very own character from scratch and turning them in to real puppets to encourage play and storytelling in a fun, inclusive and imaginative way. ✨

I would so love to get the opportunity to deliver this workshop but I need your votes to make it happen! The voting day is Thursday 27th November from 2-4PM at Skainos Centre. Come along to chat to me and the lovely (my wonderful assistant artist) and hear about lots of projects and have your say on what you want to see delivered in East Belfast.

Even if you can't make it, sharing the post with someone you think might be interested would mean the world to me! ☺️

Thank you to
And for this opportunity!
And for the support 😍
