Theater for babies

Sanna had booked us tickets to baby theater show that took place last Saturday on Sellosali in Leppävaara, Espoo. This was the first time that I visited the quite new (three years old or so) Sellosali, the nearest cultural establishment to our home — I’m not counting the library of Kauniainen as one, as there is no theater available.

The show, titled Pumpulirumpu (Cottom Drum, or maybe Cotton Ball Drum), has been carefully designed to entertain the small folks, from three to twelve months old.

As the attention span of a baby is quite short, the show is only 20 minutes long. But during those twenty minutes, a lot of magic takes place and the babies are entertained all the time. If I just could learn that same magic…

The show stimulates babies with sounds, colours, movements and poetry. It’s not boring for the adults, either — and the time just flies.

Highly recommendable, if you happen to be on Helsinki region. There are some shows at least on April this year. Search with google for more details.
