The Greedy Frog

The Greedy Frog puppet with big red tongue

Originally an Australian folktale about a Greedy Frog who swallowed all the water in the world, it has given a modern overtone with found object puppets and modern water issues.

A child holds the key to the padlock, though, and saves the world! A cautionary story reminding us that water is an important part of everything. The online audience, which included people from all over the Island, Haida Gwaii to Ladysmith, had lots of questions and comments.

  •  “Your puppets are awesome.”

  • “The vampire squid was my favourite.”

  • “My kid was clearly inspired.” 

As WPTS strives to present fact-based science with puppet fun, it was thrilling to receive this feedback from someone who knows! “I wanted to write to Wendy and give her an A+ on her tube worm anatomy. I’m a deep sea explorer, and I’ve seen the ocean floor and hydrothermal vents, and her animals are perfect. I’m happy she’s sharing her love for the deep!”
