The Magic of the Frog and Fly
Fluffy the Frog loves flies and he eats them all day. But Fluffy discovered a better way to catch flies than just using his tongue. Fluffy covered his lily pad with honey to attract flies and now he is full. The Frog and the Fly is a clever vanish and appearance of a 7 inch fly into a lily pad. For a climax the fly appears inside the frog’s backpack while the spectator is holding it. Great magic and a great story line combined into winning entertainment with a moral.
The silkworm and the spider contest
The silkworm and the spider make the world’s strongest threads but they argue about whose is the best. The ladybug proposes a contest to determine which string is really stronger and the battle begins. Two kids from the audience assist with the magic of the bugs. Each pulls their thread to see which will break first. The thread magically stretches to 12 feet across the stage. The ladybug declares the contest a “tie” and offers the moral to the story. She also makes reference to the library books we read enhancing our inner strength .
