The Hollow and the Hearth

An Early Childhood Puppet Production

Deep in the heart of an enchanted woodland lies The Hollow— a circle of mossy roots and old friendships. And at its center is The Hearth, where warmth is shared, stories are kindled, and belonging is never questioned.

The Hollow and the Hearth is a gentle seasonal puppet tales series that follows a cast of sweet, archetypal characters as they move through the wheel of the year—meeting new challenges, discovering small gift, and learning how to live in wonder, care, and courage.

Inside you will find three seasonal puppet scripts and a handful of resources to support your child through puppet play.
