Prince and Princess of the Castle

Sad and lonely, the Penguin Prince longs to find the perfect penguin princess to be his wife. Then one stormy night, a wet and bedraggled penguin arrives at the castle claiming to be a princess. The prince falls deeply in love with the beautiful and mysterious stranger. But is she really a princess? In this sparkling and whimsical retelling of The Princess and the Pea, there's only one sure way to find out. 

Come and bring your preschool age children for lots of fun.  We will be playing games, singing silly songs and listening to our special story The Penguin and the Pea. 

Bring a coloring picture of your child's favourite story to be posted on the wall of fame as we explore the fun world of princes and princesses.
