MAddy and the Magic Safari

Maddy is drawing one of her favorite magical creatures and she wants to get the stripes just right, but she’s never met a Zebracorn! What’s an adventurer to do? With her faithful and fearful companion, Puffball, Maddy goes on a fantastical field trip and finds Magical Creatures around every corner!

BCT is extremely excited to bring you this BRAND NEW digital content as we all continue to stay safe and shelter in place. We hope you enjoyed our puppet show today! In an effort to bring theatre to the homes of children in Birmingham and beyond, Birmingham Children's Theatre will be producing a series of original puppet shows. Each Wednesday at 9am, a 10-15 minute show written, performed, filmed, and edited by the BCT team will premiere on our Facebook page and here, on our website.

Maddy and Puffball meet many magical creatures on their journey. Some of these creatures are combinations of animals that really exist
(examples: a turtle and rhinoceros, a flamingo and a gopher).
What animals or plants can you combine to make a new creature? Draw and describe your new creation.

Where does your magical creature live? Is their habitat a combination too? Draw and describe a habitat for each creature you created. Be sure to tell what makes this habitat perfect for your creature.

Write a story about your creature(s) and its (their) habitat.

Have a great idea for a story? Email us and perhaps we’ll have a chance to work with YOU on a one-of-a-kind world-premiere puppet show!
