When are the puppet shows?

Nukketeatteri Ofelia's show is around 11:30am and Milla Risku's Kampelan kolme toivomusta is around 3pm, each about 30 minutes. The organizer says start times are approximate and can shift during the day.

Will my kid follow it without Finnish or Hungarian?

The drawing, the marionette and mask sessions and the fish-puppet making run in both Finnish and Hungarian and are hands-on. The two puppet shows are in Finnish, and the story corner with children's author Nóra Czoma is in Hungarian only.

About

A day of puppets with a sea theme at Helsinki's Hungarian cultural center. Kids watch two short puppet shows in Finnish, help bring marionettes and masks to life, and draw a sea world together with their parents, which runs all day. Toward the end, each kid makes a fish puppet, then brings it to a closing party with music, a projection show and a fish dance.
