Carousel Players and professional designer and puppeteer Alexa Fraser bring you Carousel Players’ Giant Puppet Party, an outdoor, family friendly activity.

The first step – make your puppet!

Alexa will lead a Giant Puppet making workshop on September 25th at 10am. Groups of up to 6 will create their puppet’s head and hands under Alexa’s instruction, and then take their puppet pieces home for the finishing touches. Your puppet can be a person, an animal, a favourite character, a mystical creature… anything you want!

Unable to attend the workshop?

No problem. You can gather the materials listed below and follow the video tutorial to create your own fabulous Giant Puppet right at home. We even have some Puppet Packs for families with limited means. These contain all the materials for making a puppet, and you pick one up at our offices.

Next step – PARTY!

Join Carousel Players and our resident Giant Puppet, Nadine the Ondine, on Saturday October 2 at 11am in Lester B. Pearson Park for the Giant Puppet Party!

What does a Giant Puppet Party entail? Music, dancing, laughter and more! Carousel Players’ Giant Puppet will lead everyone in song and dance, creating a community that is together, apart, and making art.
