Storytime!
This is a game to play with your adults.
The Wagon is full of stories. When it wants us to tell one, it gives us a clue. Remember when Cheryl brought the necklace at the beginning of the show? That was the clue. Then Baugi, Nerthus and Gorm invented a story about a necklace.
The Wagon has some clues for you. Invent a story together about one of them!
A box that is locked with a golden key
A big blue egg.
A giant marshmallow.
A shooting star.
A tiny rocket.
What other clues do you think the Wagon has inside for making up stories?
Draw a Picture!
In the story there are two mermen and a mermaid. They live on the great rock that juts out of the sea. Inside the rock there is a Mercave.
Can you draw a picture of the merfolk?
Imagine that you have your own Wagon of Dreams. What does it look like? What animals live inside with you? Can you draw a picture?

Use your recycling to design and create your own wagon!
At Jellyfish Theatre we make lots of our props and costumes out of recycled stuff.
For example, we made our mermaid tails out of our old sleeping bags.
Why not try making your own model Wagon of Dreams out of your own recyling?
Recycling Merfolk
Merfolk are mermaids and mermen. Here’s how to make one out of your recyling.
Make recycled mermaids and mermen.
There are 3 “merfolk” in “The Wagon of Dreams” story. Merfolk are mermaids and mermen. In the story, their job is collecting up all the plastic rubbish that they find in the sea. Then they send it back to the humans using the waves. You can make a mermaid or a merman one out of recycling. Here’s how:
You can also use little shells or sparkly paper to decorate your merperson.

Robin also drew the shape of the caravan on to card for you to paint. Ask someone to draw you the outline of the Wagon and then you can colour or paint it.
