For many years now our pre-kinder children have enjoyed a delightful puppet show by Puppeteer Jeanette Drummond of Dove Puppets.

Jeanette is a wonderful story teller who captures the children’s imaginations the moment she ventures behind her screen and raises the curtain to begin the show.

A very popular show we look forward to enjoying with the children at this time of year is Jeanette’s Christmas story  …

… which celebrates Santa Claus  …

…as well as the story of the birth of Jesus.

Jeanette’s enthusiasm and amazing ability to entertain along with her beautiful puppets, theatre, and props, keeps the children’s attention and interest throughout the entire show.

Wisely, Jeanette has a short break during the show where she connects with the children in a hands on session which includes inviting the children to feed her cow…

… and reindeer puppets …

… with miniature hand stitched fruits and vegetables.

She also sings familiar action songs with the children …

… and gets them up for a boogie, in order to get the wriggles out before the second part of the show commences.

With Christmas and the end of the kinder year so close we find that Jeanette’s Christmas story a wonderful way to introduce the children to the Christmas season.
