Why nurseries and playgroups choose Stripey Wipey

Because early years settings are busy places, the show is designed to be easy for staff to host.

Stripey Wipey arrives with the magic rhythm planned, the children are invited in gently, and the whole visit feels like a special treat rather than a disruption.

Most importantly, the nursery magic show gives little ones a shared memory they can talk about at snack time, home time and long after the balloons have bobbed away.

Gentle rhythm

Soft build-ups, clear choices and little wins help younger children stay with the fun.

Easy for staff

Simple setup, sensible pacing and a friendly running order make the visit easy to host.

Made for little ones

Magic, colour, giggles and joining-in moments are shaped around early years attention spans.

Nursery & Playgroup Magic Shows

Small children need magic that feels close, kind and easy to join in with.

That is why this nursery magic show is built around gentle laughs, colourful surprises and little moments that never rush the room.

Stripey Wipey brings bright early years entertainment with a friendly rhythm that helps children watch, giggle, answer, clap and feel part of the fun.

Small people. Big reactions.

Nursery magic without the noisy nonsense

A Stripey Wipey show for little ones who love colour, giggles and joining in.

Little children do not need a loud stage, a booming microphone or tricks flying over their heads. They need magic they can see, silliness they can understand and a friendly face who knows when to sparkle and when to slow down.

Stripey Wipey keeps the fun close, warm and easy to follow. Children can point, clap, shout the magic words, giggle at Peanut the Elephant and enjoy little surprises without the room tipping into chaos.

It is bright enough to feel special, gentle enough for younger children and simple enough for staff to host without another complicated job landing in their lap.

Perfect for nursery treats, playgroups and preschool celebrations

This page exists because nurseries, playgroups and preschools need their own kind of celebration.

Whether it is a preschool treat, an end-of-term nursery treat, a nursery leavers party or a colourful playgroup magic show, the visit can be shaped around younger children’s attention spans.

In addition, the nursery magic show works well for morning sessions, afternoon celebrations and special visits when staff want something bright without making the day feel too heavy.

What the children experience

Children see comedy magic, colourful props, happy joining-in moments and silly surprises that are small enough to follow.

Meanwhile, the room can include confident children at the front and quieter children watching safely from a mat, a chair or a favourite adult’s side.

For many children, the best part is not one big trick; it is the feeling that the magic noticed them.

Gentle magic for younger children

A nursery magic show should never feel like a loud school assembly squashed into a smaller room.

Therefore, the Stripey Wipey approach uses soft build-ups, clear choices, gentle repetition and plenty of little wins.

That means the children can laugh, point, shout a magic word, wave, clap and settle again without the show tipping into chaos.

For nurseries who would like the fun to last a little longer, ask about the Stripey Wipey Nursery Fun Pack — a cheerful set of Peanut the Elephant and Domino the Rabbit posters and stickers for little ones to recognise, remember and smile about after the show.

Peanut the Elephant squashed in a magic hat for a funny Stripey Wipey nursery moment

Tiny helpers. Huge giggles.

Domino, Peanut and the silly bits children remember

Peanut the Elephant is not there to take over the show. She is there for those small, funny nursery moments children talk about afterwards: the cheeky look, the little wave, the pretend muddle and the “oh no, Peanut!” giggle.

Domino the Rabbit can add an extra moment of wonder when the setting is right, keeping the visit soft, supervised and suitable for younger children.

Together, they make the magic feel like a story rather than a performance. It is colourful, close-up and easy for little ones to follow — the sort of gentle nonsense that makes nursery staff smile too.

The little questions before the big giggles
