This workshop is based on various simple crafts.

The crafts are linked and connected to the stories as character-based items.

This workshop is about personalization of the characters and props and making it special for you and your child.

3. Stone painting - character faces / bodies
4. Story Theatre - background and 2 movable characters
5. Stiff paper puppets - for articulation as a 'head' for characters
