Púca Puppets present: Small Wonders' playdate for children with complex needs

Maximum 6 children, with 1 adult per child. Duration 30mins.

A multi-sensory interactive playful experience for children with complex needs and those who care for them. George and Niamh invite the children and their carers to use music and puppets to explore our world of nature, growth and environment. Playing together we celebrate the natural world’s benefits for health and wellbeing. 

A social story is available in advance to the experience.

After the show links to recordings of the songs invite further extending of the experience into play at home or in school.
