At Teaching Awareness through Puppetry (TAP), we believe in the power of storytelling to spark empathy, inclusion, and meaningful conversations. As a nonprofit, our troupe of volunteer puppeteers bring engaging, educational puppetry workshops to elementary schools across Canada—both virtually and in person. Each year, we reach many students using our carefully crafted puppetry workshops to address topics like disability awareness, understanding ourselves and others, and the importance of kindness, in ways that are age-appropriate and accessible. Featured in the Toronto Star for our unique ability to tackle hard-to-talk-about topics, our work continues to grow—but we need your help to reach even further.

About the Event

“Puppets & Pottery: Stirring Up Friendship One Bowl at a Time!” is a warm, community-driven fundraiser that blends food, fun, and friendship.

Guests will:

Enjoy a variety of soups
Meet our beloved puppets and learn about their stories
Hear from our passionate volunteers and directors
Choose a handmade bowl to keep—reminding them of the importance of inclusion and connection.

We aim to raise funds to continue and expand our reach—specifically to bring our workshops to schools that would benefit from our program to achieve their learning objectives and classroom goals, as well as expand our reach beyond the Greater Toronto Area. Your support will allow more children across Canada to benefit from TAP’s message of empathy, awareness, disability inclusion, and community-building.
