If you’re looking for a show for your toddler’s first time at the Adelaide Fringe, this is it! Monski Mouse and her crew bring so much energy, with loads of familiar nursery classics and puppetry to make your baby or toddler feel right at home.

 It’s such a fun, feel-good show that had the whole crowd singing and dancing. They cover all the big toddler topics—elephants, fish, transport, and, of course, wiggly worms!

 It was amazing to be in the iconic Spiegeltent—this setting adds some old-school magic to the whole experience. There’s plenty of space for kids to move around, dance, and interact with one another. So if you have a little one who isn’t great at sitting still, this is the show for you, as both kids and parents are encouraged to move and shake their sillies out.

 Monski Mouse and her crew brought great energy, but our favourite member of the MM crew was Hugh—he was giving tree of wisdom vibes and knew exactly how to make the parents laugh.

 I’d say this show is ideal for ages 1-4. It’s the perfect first Fringe show—super inclusive and just a really joyful way to spend a morning.
