Trash Puppets want to change the world….one puppet at a time!

Learn about sustainability and the magic of puppetry as you make your very own handmade puppet! Trash Puppets teaches kids to create their very own one-of-a-kind puppet made completely out of recycled materials. No glue or paint required!

Trash Puppets believe that fostering creativity is key to a happy, healthy planet. Through these playful workshops, Trash Puppets gets participants thinking and talking about waste reduction, recycling right, and imagining something new from discarded materials.

These workshops are the perfect accompaniment to attending a performance of Trash Puppets’ Theatre Shows.

Drop in and create your very own Trash Puppet at Ballarat Begonia Festival.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
