Time for Puppets is a Puppet Show Theater Company working in partner with Escondido Children’s Museum to spread the message to children about the importance of being environmentally conscious and doing their part to ensure that we take care of our natural resources for future generations.
We want to make recycling and conserving the “cool” thing to do in the eyes of our youth. This is an original production written, produced, directed, narrated and acted by Time for Puppets. The faithful puppeteers and stage crew make it all possible.
Here is what people have to say about the puppet show outreach:
Los Ninos Head Start had a very special day on May 20th. Kelly O'Neil and her wonderful co-workers presented a puppet show that was not only educational, but a delightful comedy that kept our children laughing, and and entertained. It was also enjoyed by our teachers and other staff . I would recommend this performance to all of our other local Head Starts. It educates our children on the importance of recycling!! Kudos to all of you and keep up the great job you are doing.

Programs at the Escondido Children's Museum
The Second Saturdays Program at the Escondido Children's Museum offers added value to visitors with a guided, hands-on activity on a special theme. Museum volunteers work with diverse guest-educators to create truly unique learning experiences. We encourage our visitors to venture 1.5 blocks south to participate in Downtown Escondido’s Artwalk on the same days…with special events every month. (www.downtownescondido.com)
