On today’s episode we share 2 activities from our "Carnival of the Animals" course.

First, you get to meet one of our beloved musical puppet friends, Presto the Donkey, inspired by the Wild Donkey of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals. We listen to the Wild Donkey movement and play freeze dance.

For our second activity we learn a folk song about a donkey named Tingalayo that originated from the Caribbean. We use our egg shakers to practice beat and rhythm.

We hope you enjoy the episode.
