Hiya! I’m Taz and when I Lickety Play I have great fun becoming ‘The Funky Chicken’ and meeting all the other exuberant creatures in the circle. Everyone makes up the most exciting animals you’ve ever imagined!

Hello! I’m Ruby and one of my favourite things about Licketyspit play sessions is getting to sit down with everyone together and have a good blether about the games we’ve played and the things we’ve seen! I think imaginary play is great because you can be anyone, go anywhere, do anything, and everyone will go there with you. And what could be better than exploring a jungle full of colourful birds where you might find a friendly tiger, or having a picnic on the moon with your family and friends!
When I was little, I loved dressing up and making mud pies in the garden. I've worked with Licketyspit as an actor-pedagogue for 5 years and am the outgoing Children & Families Network Producer.
