Puppet Show & Open House at Learning Circle Preschool Sat Nov 18

Learning Circle Preschool presents Magpie Puppet's adaption of The Three Little Pigs Saturday November 18th at 11 a.m.

Learning Circle Preschool, a non-profit school for preschoolers and kindergarteners, invites families to a unique production of “The Three Little Pigs” by Magpie Puppets.

Magpie Puppets will perform “The Three Little Pigs” at Learning Circle Preschool on Saturday, November 18th at 11 a.m. The show begins with a guitar sing along, then moves into the puppet show itself.

In this new version of the story, Mama Pig has had quite enough of cleaning up after her fully grown little pigs! She sends them off with affection and money to make their way in the world. Which little pig will build a house that can withstand the powerful puffs of the Big Bad Wolf—surfer Georgie, farmer Jeremiah or Amelia, the avid reader? Children share their favorite sports, veggies and books with the puppets.
