Storyteller Ailie Finlay has created a multisensory version of ‘The White Pet’, a traditional tale from Islay. She’ll be using ordinary household objects as props. We’ll let you know beforehand which objects you’ll need so you can gather them together and be ready to join in with the story at home. Lots of fun for everyone, but particularly for wee ones and children with additional needs.
