What a puppet workshop for events is
The puppet workshop for events is a creative activity where each child brings their own puppet to life: they start from a base and personalise it with add-ons like eyes, ears, eyebrows and fins, however they like.
Children over 6 can make extra accessories from fabric and cloth. Guided by an instructor, they get instructions and ideas to spark their creativity, and once finished they play on a small puppet stage where their characters come alive.
How the puppet workshop works
Here's how Puppet-Making Workshop works, step by step:
Our instructors set up a fully equipped work area so every participant can make a unique puppet. During the activity they can:
- Personalise a puppet base in different colours.
- Add eyes, ears, eyebrows, fabric and other decorative pieces.
- Draw and decorate with felt tips and coloured pens.
- Make bespoke accessories for their characters.
- Use a small puppet theatre to act out stories and play with their creations.
Puppet-making workshop for shopping centres, hotels and summer camps
The puppet-making workshop has one advantage that makes it perfect for spaces where people come and go: it has no fixed timetable. Each child joins whenever they like, works at their own pace and ends up on the little stage bringing their character to life.
- Shopping centres: an engagement activity that keeps families around and creates a meeting point at weekends and on special dates.
- Hotels: a creative plan for the kids' club or summer afternoons, while parents enjoy some time to themselves.
- Summer camps and holiday clubs: an educational activity that builds imagination, fine motor skills and emotional expression.
It works all year round, and at Christmas or during school holidays it is a simple way to liven up a space without a big set-up. We bring all the materials: puppet bases, googly eyes, fabric, felt tips, decorations, children's scissors and staplers, plus the stage. A host guides the children with instructions and ideas, and over-6s can make extra accessories from fabric. We set up the work area and bring the puppet workshop for children to Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain.

Puppet-making workshop in Barcelona for family days, weddings and schools
Make it, then act
A puppet-making workshop in Barcelona has something few workshops achieve: children do not just make their character, they then bring it to life in front of others. That is why it works so well as a puppet workshop for company family days, where parents end up filming their children's improvised show on their phones.
At family celebrations, it is a children's activity for weddings and communions that keeps little ones entertained in their own space while the adults enjoy their meal. For schools, a puppet workshop for schools develops speaking skills and imagination in a very natural way. In summer, hotels and summer camps book it as afternoon entertainment. Tell us about your event and we will prepare a proposal.
- Company Family Days: staff children make their puppet and premiere a show in the little theatre.
- Weddings and communions: a kids' corner with an instructor so children have fun while the grown-ups celebrate.
- Schools and cultural days: an educational activity that combines crafts, storytelling and speaking in public.
- Shopping centres and campaigns: a drop-in workshop that keeps families around and livens up the kids' area.

Puppet workshop price
It comes down to four things: how many people take part, how long the activity lasts, how many instructors are needed and where it's held. Those variables determine the cost of the puppet workshop. Request a quote with no commitment and we'll return a proposal designed for your event.
Workshop set-up, transport and installation
We prepare the whole space before the activity starts:
- Advance planning: we agree the available space, the number of participants and the event's timing.
- Installation: we set up the work tables, lay out the materials and prepare the puppet stage so it can start straight away.
- Materials included: puppet bases, felt tips, pens, googly eyes, fabric, decorative add-ons, children's scissors, staplers and everything else needed.
- Supervision: specialist instructors help throughout and suggest ideas for original characters.
- Afterwards: we collect all the materials and leave the space completely clean.
We travel anywhere in Spain with the puppet workshop materials, adapting the activity to indoor or covered outdoor spaces.

Frequently asked questions
What is the puppet workshop for events and how does it work?
It is a creative activity where each child starts with a puppet base and personalises it with googly eyes, fabric scraps and other accessories. A workshop leader guides them and, once finished, the children act out stories in a small puppet theatre. It is drop-in, with no set times.
What ages is the puppet workshop suitable for?
The puppet workshop is suitable for all ages. Children over 6 can make extra accessories from fabric and rags. Every participant takes home their own personalised puppet as a keepsake of the event, and all of them can play with it afterwards on the small puppet stage.
How many children can take part at once in the puppet workshop and how long does each take?
Between 6 and 10 children can work at the same time, and each spends about 20-30 minutes on their puppet. As the puppet workshop is drop-in, children join whenever they like and work at their own pace. The service lasts a minimum of 2 hours.
What space, electricity and furniture does the puppet workshop need?
No electricity is needed. We recommend a 3 x 3 m space, indoors or in a covered outdoor area, and the client provides tables and chairs for the participants. We bring the materials and the workshop leader, and set up the puppet workshop in about 15 minutes.
