The Magic Flute, An Opera by Mozart
Adapted by Kyra Teis
We had a wonderful time celebrating the publication of my newest children’s book at PS 16 in Troy, NY.
Thanks to an amazing and energetic art teacher, Danielle Weinheimer, and other teachers who assisted, the children of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades took part in a creative workshop using this new book.

We read The Magic Flute together, and then we explored “setting” and “character” by making stages and cast members out of cereal boxes. The ideas were flying, and so was the glitter!

The kids used everything under the sun to decorate their inventive stage sets and costuming: feathers, ribbons, beans, paper tissue, doilies, you name it.
