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 🌟

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 🤶🏻

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!

Our Story

Here at Squiggles & Giggles being creative and having fun is our top priority when providing professional sessions for your settings and entertainment packages for events! The company is owned and operated by Kelsey Barr. I graduated in 2012 with a BA Hons in Drama & Theatre Arts and shortly after started working as a Playworker in a Belfast After school Club. It was there I really found my love for working with children and focusing on something that is so important in young children’s lives - the ability to play!

In 2014, I started to offer birthday party entertainment packages with face painting and balloon modelling, and in 2015, I started to deliver Music & Movement and Drama sessions for children in local communities. Since then I have met hundreds of amazing children in various settings along with their parents, families, carers, the brilliant staff in nursery and after school clubs, charities and businesses.

In 2017, Squiggles & Giggles was voted for and awarded with Families First NI ‘Best New Business’. This year has been an incredible one thanks to of all my customers - I really appreciate each and every one of you for your support!

I look forward to continuing with our Squiggles & Giggles sessions and parties in 2018. Thank you and remember when you book with us you are supporting an independent, local, professional and insured company.
