LAST CALL: Puppetry Workshops for kids: Mon & Tue 11 & 12 July 2022

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its Puppetry Workshops for Kids! Join professional puppeteer and puppet-maker Ifat Vayner and open the doors to the world of puppetry.  Each of the two workshops will bring a different muppet to life, and in each session, participants will learn how to construct a muppet, how to give it a voice, personality and movement, and how to develop and perform short scenes.

Loco the Taco is designed with a younger age group in mind and Jacques the Chef is designed for a slightly older group, but the age brackets are very flexible. No previous art experience necessary, all materials provided, take your finished muppet home!

For ages 10-15 yrs: Jacques the Chef:  Mon, 11/7/22 10am -1pm
For ages 8-11 yrs: Loco the Taco: Tues, 12/7/22 10am -1pm

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
