Cool Caddisfly Pop-up Puppet
Friday, 14 August 2020 at 10:00 - 11:00
Dartmoor Connections Festival
Join Andy for an interactive online family craft workshop to make a pop-up caddisfly larvae
Dartmoor’s rivers are full of hidden wildlife which live secret lives beneath the surface. We will shine a light on one of nature’s amazing builders- the caddis fly. It creates a home for itself out of materials it finds lying around on the river bed.
Using recycled materials, an old sock and magazines we’ll make our very own caddis fly.
Join us on Facebook Live from 10am. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
