Trip-trap, trip-trap… get ready for a fairytale come to life! In 3 Billy Goats Gruff, Rose Farm educator Jeni Warwick brings this beloved story to life with engaging puppets and storytelling that will delight young imaginations. After the tale, children will learn what it’s really like to care for goats with help from our friends at HER Acres, discovering fun facts and what these curious animals need to thrive. Then comes the hands-on fun! Children will have the chance to meet and pet a real goat, followed by a creative building challenge where they’ll design and construct bridges strong enough for pretend goats to cross—using a variety of materials and lots of imagination. This session blends storytelling, animal education, and engineering play for an experience that’s equal parts magical, educational, and unforgettable.
