For Babies Aged 6-18 Months

This interactive sensory experience, designed specifically for babies aged 6-18 months, uses inventive puppetry and gentle a cappella singing to explore the concept of home. The performance takes place within a designated yellow area where babies are free to play and explore. Adults will be seated around the perimeter. Please note that shoes, coats, and bags must be left outside this area. The 30-minute show encourages babies to join in and concludes with a playtime for you and your little one.
