Let's do this

*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.

A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 5 min to set up · 13 min to perform · 2 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • A tree stump, flat log or a circle of stones as the stage
  • Teddies as the audience
  • A stick for a microphone

Let's begin

Five simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. Mark out your stage with stones or sticks.

  2. Line up the teddy audience.

  3. Little one leads

    Your child chooses their act: a song, a dance, a joke, a story.

  4. Announce them with the stick microphone.

  5. Clap and cheer! Then it's your turn.

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
