Amazing Tales
A sensory introduction to Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Join our travelling sensory storyteller and their wise old Owl (puppet) as they take you on a journey through some of the lesser-known Grimm Fairy Tales.
Using chants, rhymes, repetition and song our storyteller will draw you into an enchanting fairy tale world bringing to life each narrative using Makaton signing and fun sensory props.
The session features, Hans my Hedgehog, The Musicians of Bremen and The Mouse and The Bird and The Sausage.
As humans and animals talking together is a common occurrence in the Grimms’ tales, the audience is encouraged to join in by using puppets and fun sensory objects to help them tell the ‘tail’.
