🥳 Holiday Fun at Home: Easy Play Ideas for Little Ones 🥳

We hope everyone is enjoying the break! Keeping little ones engaged doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple play can help them feel settled, curious, and connected. 💛

Here are four easy, fun activities to try at home:

🎨 Water Painting

All you need: A cup of water, a paintbrush, and an outdoor wall, fence, or path.
A mess-free way for children to “paint” and watch their artwork disappear!

🫧 Bubble Play

All you need: Bubble mix (or dish soap + water) and a wand.
Perfect for chasing, popping, moving, and lots of giggles.

🧺 Treasure Basket

All you need: A small basket and safe household items (wooden spoon, soft cloth, plastic cup).
A lovely way for little ones to explore textures and everyday objects.

🎶 Dance & Freeze

All you need: Music on a phone or speaker.
Play a song, pause it randomly, and freeze in the silliest pose!

Enjoy the holidays and have fun making memories with your little ones. 💕

Our FREE playgroups are fun, interactive, and educational, led by kind, caring, and passionate staff.

We also offer no-cost parental support and counselling to help families navigate the journey of raising children. 💛

📖 Blossom Possum

🎄 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄

Last week was full of Christmas magic at Camden Playgroup. The kids enjoyed decorating their own Christmas tree ornaments with stickers, glitter, and lots of sparkle. 🎉✨

✨ Empowering Families to understand the latest NDIS changes ✨

Earlier this month, Jay, one of our dedicated Support Coordinators from Disability Macarthur, delivered an informative and engaging presentation at our Minto MyTime Support Group, unpacking the latest NDIS updates. The session was incredibly valuable and warmly received by our members. 💛

Staying up to date with these changes is essential for families. It helps parents and carers understand what supports are available, how to access them, and how any updates might affect their current plans. Having Jay share his knowledge ensures our members receive clear, practical guidance from someone who works closely with families every day.

✨ A Magical Week at Playgroup ✨

At playgroup, it’s not just about crafts; our circle time is where the magic happens!

This week, the room was filled with music, movement, and the happiest little voices as the children sang and danced to the Hokey Pokey. There were wiggly arms, giggly legs, and so many bright smiles. It’s amazing to see how music and movement spark confidence, coordination, and joyful connection. 💛

Our Book of the Week was the timeless favourite Where is Spot? The children were completely captivated, guessing where Spot might be hiding and eagerly lifting each flap to find out. Their curiosity and excitement made story time truly special.

Circle time remains the heart of our sessions. Singing, dancing, storytelling, and shared moments make playgroup an experience full of warmth, learning, and laughter.

With just 4 weeks left before we wrap up for the term, we’d love to welcome all families to come along and join the fun. There’s still plenty of joy to share! 💛

For more information, please contact our team on 9603 7011 or you might like to follow our page here: 👇🏼
