Dartington Barn Cinema Presents....

Lost and Found
presented by Travelling Light and Polka Theatre
by Oliver Jeffers

Saturday 21 May
11.30am & 2pm, Barn Theatre

Once there was a boy
and one day he found a penguin at his door…

He didn’t know where it came from or who it belonged to. The penguin looked sad and the boy thought it must be lost. So he decided to help it find its way home, even if that meant rowing all the way to the South Pole.

Travelling Light teams up with Polka Children’s Theatre to create an enchanting new show for children aged 3 to 7. Based on the award-winning book by the popular author/illustrator Oliver Jeffers, Lost and Found is a heart-warming tale of adventure, bravery, and true love.

“Delightful.. appealing.. children’s theatre at its strongest” -Whatsonstage.com

Lost and Found was previously a piture book and is the first to be made into animation.

Lost and Found is available in paperback and hardback as well as the animated version of the story on DVD produced by the BBC.

Oliver Jeffers has skillfully designed this book to appeal to the vivid imaginations of children all over. Using a combination of a simple, yet touching storyline that is brought to life with his artistic visualisation, creates a storybook that defines how the traditional medium of print can still be exciting and entertaining for both the young and of the aged.

Oliver Jeffers has also wrote other books so check out his website if you want to look - http://www.oliverjeffers.com/shop/book01.html

History of the spinning top - How does the spinning top work?

By -

I received a lovely letter this morning from the year 1 pupils at Highters Heath Community School in Birmingham, that are currently studying toys from the past. When I opened the letter, it contained many letters mainly asking how a spinning top works, and does the spinning top contain a spring? In an attempt to settle these curious minds, let me tell you a little bit about the history of the spinning top, and then how a spinning top works. The History of the Spinning Top The spinning top has been in existence for thousands of years. Like many traditional toys, such as marbles, the earliest spinning tops are made from clay, and were discovered in the Middle East as early as 3500 BC, although it is likely that children would have been spinning small rocks or acorns long before. Later wooden spinning tops emerged in around 2000 BC, and early spinning tops made from bone have been found in Europe.  These spinning tops would have been much simpler than many tops found in old fashioned

How to Play Farmyard Donkey Card Game

A couple of weeks ago I posted the instructions for the card game Pairs on Wheels . Another popular traditional family card game is Farmyard Donkey. Again, this game is fairly straight forward but a great way to keep children occupied and get them thinking. The card game consists of 17 pairs and the "Donkey Card". Firstly, shuffle the cards then deal them in a clockwise direction to each player. All players then look at their cards and take out all their pairs, the player to the left of the dealer arranges their remaining cards in their hand like a fan. The back of the cards are shown to the player on the left who then picks a card. If this card makes a pair then the cards are put in the middle of the table with the other pairs. If the player isn't able to make a pair then they keep the card and continue the game by offering their cards to the next player. When a player eventually loses all their cards they are 'saved' and stop playing. At the end of the gam

Caps, Cap Bombs, Cap Guns - I loved them all!

Cap guns became popular following World War 2, TV's were being watched all around the UK and companies began to create all different types, styles and colours of cap guns for children. Children all over the world saw their heroes fighting crime and therefore began reenacting their own scenes by collecting these toy guns . Cap guns were always a highlight toy during my childhood; especially for my 8 year old brother and his friends. I remember my siblings and I feeling almost like James Bond with our pretend, smokey gun shots around the house. Pretending to be spies or action heroes...we could play for hours and hours with our cap guns and bombs.   They really are something so simple yet so affective. What a brilliant toy! It's amazing to see them still being sold. They were a classic toy in the 50's, 90's and they seem to be just as popular now! The cap bombs produce a puff of smoke when thrown on the ground (completely harmless!) Similarly with the cap gu
