Children loved it!

The children loved it and the puppeteer was great about walking around and bring her puppets to let the kids know that the show was almost happening. The children were so engaged and full of laughter.

Very entertaining!

Joan performed at my daughters birthday and the show was a total hit. She engaged with the children in a way that kept their attention throughout the show, as the performance incorporates music and dancing. The show also is entertaining for adults to watch, too!

Average to below average performance

I hate to write a bad review. She was super kind and friendly .. but I was loOk’ing for something more upbeat and energetic.
The kids lost interest quick.
The idea of a puppet show is great but toddlers need super high energy. When parents spend money on these
Things .. it HAS to be worth it. And I just don’t think it was worth the price tag ☹️.
I have 3 kids & have hired multiple performers .. so I feel I am we experienced in comparing this to other performers ..

I am truly amazed by this review...in my 35 years of teaching young children in the EISD/ Westlake and my 30 years of puppet performances for children....this is my 1st negative review! I am sorry you were disappointed in your choice of performances...I wish I had known while I was at your home. I Thank you for your feedback, because a good performer learns from every performance and every review!

Wonderful experience

Joan is a wonderful, fun and energetic puppeteer. We loved having her for our son's 3rd birthday. She did the barnyard show with songs and dance and the kids loved it. Towards the end of the show even the adults started dancing. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her services again in future.

Great performer for kids' parties

We had Joan come and perform for our daughter's 6th birthday party and she was a hit. She had the kids laughing and dancing the entire time. A number of the parents told me how great she was and what a great idea it was to have a puppet show at the party. I would definitely recommend her to anybody looking to entertain a group of kids.

Joan made our birthday a great success!

Joan's puppet show was so entertaining for my four-year-old son and his friends. They giggled and danced throughout. Joan's handmade puppets were so wonderful and her performance was just hilarious -- the adults were laughing their heads off too! All the other parents commented to me about how much they enjoyed the show and having their kids so engaged! i would highly recommend Small Wonders Puppet Theater!!!
