Family
Sticky Kids' Christmas Show
If you like things live, loud and loony - this is for you. A musical show for 2-6 year olds, featuring Molly Muddle - the human party popper - and her good friend Old Macdonald; when they get together, the fun really begins. Lots of audience participation. Watch out for flying crackers!
For concientious parents, rest assured, we understand this show has an educational touch too. "The CD also helped to develop their listening skills." Nursery Education Review (December 06)
