Nearby Playing With Puppets

 
 
Playing With PuppetsThe Museum of Childhood explores puppet theatre through Playing with Puppets, a free exhibition which features puppets from The Little Angel Theatre. If your kids were lucky enough to see the Little Angel's adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Giraffe And The Pelly And Me then they'll most likely recognise some of the characters in this display. Using the giraffe with the elongated neck and his animal friends from the Ladderless Window Cleaning Company, the museum has put together an interactive display that looks at the mechanics of a puppetry production.
