About this Event
What if the three billy goats gruff were superheroes? What if there were pig fairy godmothers?
Step into a world of imagination where fairytales get a delightful twist in this fantastical and playful storytelling workshop.
Kids will explore classic fairytales like Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and Three Billy Goats Gruff – then flip them on their head with creativity, wonder, music and movement.
Together with host Emma Chandler, you’ll use everyday objects like blankets, chairs and colanders to build troll bridges, little pigs’ houses and more.
Let your imagination guide you and discover what happens when we start to change stories.
Perfect for kids aged 5-10.

Presented by Midsumma Festival and State Library Victoria, supported by Rainbow Families Switchboard.
