Yoghurt pots 'n old socks

SGT. STONE'S puppet workshops are going on the road again. Puppetry has long been recognised as a valuable educational tool and Sgt. Stone will soon be visiting schools and colleges with a lively mix of hard work and fun activities to do with puppets.

"Storytelling, puppet making and performing are just some of the skills the kids will learn", says Sgt. Stone, "they get a great buzz from it and so do I."
