A sleepy, sheepy show for babies and toddlers (and very tired grown ups)
Two sheep think they know everything about sleep.
They’re experts in the field.
But tonight they’re wide awake. Snuggle up and join two sheep on a journey through the joys and frustrations of everything bedtime.
A touching, musical adventure filled with sensory play, for 0-3 year olds and their (very tired) grown ups.
