Create stories out of shadows at Queensland Museum Kurilpa these summer school holidays with a crocodile puppet-making workshop by Dead Puppet Society!

This hands-on workshop will teach you how to build your own crocodile shadow puppet, learning about the art of puppetry and discovering the magic of storytelling. Play with shadows and shapes as you use your new-found skills to tell a snappy story, and take your puppet home to share crocodile stories with your family and friends.

This program celebrates our newest Queensland Museum Kurilpa exhibition Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends.
