New adaptations of folktales and fairy tales from around the world - perfect for a multi-cultural curriculum. Original stories and plays to exercise math and problem-solving skills.
After creating this fun musical adaptation for theatres and schools, we've decided to record it and add Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure tale to our podcast library. Like the original story, our adaptation is full of mysterious maps, buried treasure, and mutinous pirates... plus some fun songs to sing along with.

What is WINKING KAT TALES? We assembled a talented group of actors and invited them to a recording studio over the past several months so they could help bring to life the musical and non-musical plays Winking Kat has created for young audiences over the past twenty years. We began our podcast episodes with a new adaptation of Charles Perrault's classic story of "Puss 'n Boots" on September 1st, 2019. Over 20 plays are now available, via podcast, anywhere in the world. Winking Kat has over forty plays in our library written by the team of P. Haines-Ainsworth and Terence Alaric Levitt and produced by professional companies and schools over the past twenty years so we'll continue to add more every few months. We'll also be posting interviews and fun behind the scenes episodes for teachers, librarians, parents, and kids to enjoy. Podcasts are currently available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcast, and all your favorite podcast channels. Plus, you can always check out all the latest news and updates on our website, winkingkattales.com

With so many of us staying home this year, Winking Kat has created a new board/card game for the adults and children over 13 to enjoy. It is called DARK DREAMS. The game is part strategy,
part role playing game, and part ghost story.
Winking Kat is now accepting pre-orders for delivery beginning in October 2020. If you'd like to learn more, we have created a special website just for Dark Dreams. Click here to visit the webpage.
