After the Rain
After the Rain takes children into a magical, musical world of discovery as Ivy sets off to find Mrs Bumpting the toad, meeting mystical mushrooms and all the wild creatures that come out when it's wet. Pursued by a council of crows and a barbershop quartet of singing snails, will Ivy make it home again in time for tea?
Ivy can’t wait for it to stop raining so she can go jump in puddles! But when she answers a call for help from a stranded worm she is led on a wild adventure.
Inspired by nature, After the Rain is a magical show for pre-school children, which uses music, puppetry and miniature special effects.
The show includes an education pack for schools, preschools and nurseries to use with their children. You can also download the education pack online, as well as listen to some of the music from our show.
