Award-winning NYC Kindie climate-rocker and puppeteer, Esther Crow, and her family, teach climate and sustainability lessons to kids through song, dance and chants! By weaving comedy and kindness into each session, Esther empowers kids with the knowledge and confidence to be leaders of social/climate justice actions, and to understand the importance of the natural world around them. Each of her puppets has unique personalities and lessons to share, like Sustainable Sammy, a sock puppet who is a champion for reusing and repurposing, and Bernie the Bee who teaches about how bees (and bats!) pollinate our fruits and vegetables. Following the show, Esther and her puppet, Bernie, will lead a sustainable bee and bat puppet-making workshop and teach families about the importance of these pollinators for our food resources and ecosystems. More here: Pollinator Puppet Workshop: In this workshop, Esther and her puppet, Bernie the Bee, will assist kids in creating bee and bat puppets and will teach about how these creatures pollinate many of the fruits and vegetables we eat, and how important they are to maintaining healthy ecosystems world-wide. Families are encouraged to bring recycled toilet paper and paper towel rolls for the base of the puppets, and any other recycled/upcycled materials such as colored paper, fabric scraps, beads, sequins, pipe cleaners etc. Some materials will also be provided. Kids will be encouraged to name their puppets and give them voices and personalities. Best for ages 4-10; parents may need to assist younger children.
