“A funny and engaging performance followed by an interactive workshop on friendship, peer pressure and puberty. A great way to complement classroom programmes on sex and relationships."
"It was hilarious. My sides were splitting."
"The performance was very good and engaged the children fully. The fact that puppetry is used to open up discussion on such a sensitive subject meant that trust was built up very quickly with the class in the workshop through the game and role playing activities. I'm sure this resource would be appreciated by all teachers involved in teaching sex ed."
"The show was brilliant and it taught me a lot about puberty. It made me think how some people feel."
"A fun and imaginative show that offers a refreshing alternative to complement teacher-led relationships and sexual health programmes. The whole experience places healthy relationships at the heart of surviving the challenges of growing up."John Nicholls, Sexual Health Education Development Officer, City of Edinburgh Council
"It made me feel more confident for going to high school."

"I enjoyed the performance and liked the humour. It was upbeat and engaged the children. A good additional input for sexual health and relationships education - it's great to see something so innovative."
"Tackles sensitive issues and feelings in a fun way. A very useful resource to complement our sexual health and relationships programme."
"The puppetry and humour help children relax and be open in the workshop after the show. A great way to learn about puberty."
"The girls on the bench are good comic relief - children like puppets better than being 'told' by an adult."
"A really good summary of puberty changes. A great show which links with our Living and Growing programme."
"The show was fantastic and the children responded really well to the characters - they could relate to them, it's how they chat. The issues were dealt with in a very sensitive way. It's a great show and workshop to complement our sex ed programme - either as a jumping off point or consolidation of learning. It's good value for money." Teacher, Gilmerton PS, Edinburgh
