· a mix-and-mingle session with the puppets who ap- peared in the show (5-10 minutes)
"Penny performed at my daughter’s third birthday party. She was a HUGE hit! The
kids were enthralled the entire time; best of all they engaged, getting up to
dance, to talk back to the puppets, to try to grab them... (and BTW, Penny was a
huge sport throughout). All the parents loved it too! It was seriously the most
“civilized” gathering of 15+ children under the age of 4 in one spot. Get Penny
for your party!" -- Jessica Davis, mama of two puppet enthusiasts and editor
of NW Kids magazine, nwkids.com
What? Birthday parties are a special time for children; they are in such a hurry to grow up, they look in anticipation
to that magical day. Birthday parties often celebrate that event with family and friends, fun activities, and tasty treats. Why not add a puppet show to maximize the fun and
create a unique experience for all your guests?
Penny's Puppet shows utilize audience participation, instill a love of music and language, and stimulate the imagination. They naturally support emotional development, improve listening skills, and develop awareness of and appreciation for the simi-larities in all people (and puppets).
How? Typical length for a child’s birthday party is one to two hours. The puppet show should be scheduled approximately 30 minutes into your event; this allows time for your guests to arrive, get acquainted and visit prior to the show. Some families plan a craft (i.e. making puppets, hats or masks) prior to the puppet show as the children arrive. Other families let the children play and do big movement activities. It all depends on your individual needs and tastes. Puppet show performance lengths vary between 30-45 minutes.
Don’t forget to mention the puppet show start time on your invitations--this encourages your guests to arrive prior to the start of the show so no one misses the fun.

"My twin girls love singing
the wind up song and catch their voice when we need to be quiet. And when
they sing the ABC song they always shout wake up puppets! Penny has such positive and entertaining puppet
shows that children of all ages learn while having fun! We've made Penny, Robin, and Donkey all part of our family
now. "
