Calm Down Kanga

Bring your little ones to a colourful, interactive puppet adventure with Calm Down Kanga, a playful show that helps children explore big feelings in positive ways. To celebrate World Wellbeing Week, Happy Habits presents these special free performances at community venues across Tasmania.

Created by award-winning artist and educator Bindy Stephens, the 50‑minute performance combines puppetry, storytelling, movement and music. Children from pre‑school to Grade 2 will meet vibrant characters who model resilience, problem-solving and emotional regulation, all in a fun, engaging and inclusive format.

Families will leave with practical strategies to recognise, understand and express emotions, while enjoying a joyful, hands-on theatre experience that supports connection, creativity and mental wellbeing. The show is welcoming to all children, including those with diverse learning needs or who are learning English as a second language.

Join Kanga and friends for laughter, play and discovery; a free, uplifting festival experience that brings communities together.
