Multiplay - Flower Fun!   Lots of fun flower themed activities for Multiplay today. Our fabulous volunteer Anne is bringing Playdough to make playdough flowers with other crafty bits and pieces from the cupboard or flower arrangements with fake flowers, there will be a flower soup sensory bin (water and flowers) to cook and play with and flower sensory bags for the littlies.   Would be a good idea to bring a change of clothes in case of water spills and splashes.   A few Multiplay details for this week and ongoing: When is it? 10am - 12pm on a Friday, see dates above or the events section for upcoming sessions. Where is it? Eastona Kindergarten: 13 Collins Avenue, Altona North What is it? Multiplay is a playgroup for multiples and their siblings, from birth to school age. It’s held on the site of an old kindergarten, with fully enclosed indoor and outdoor play areas and a wide range of toys and play equipment. Multiplay is free of charge for WMBA families, as part of your annual membership. A couple of points: WMBA prioritises the health of our members and follows all venue, government guidelines and Victorian Education guidelines when it comes to any vaccination requirements. We also note down your attendance at playgroup for our records. Please note, I often take photos at Multiplay, if I know it’s for marketing a little wider than this page, I will ask your permission to take the photo / share it publicly, but do appreciate someone having a quick word to me if you would prefer to not have your little ones photographed. If you have any questions or feedback about Multiplay, please reach out!  

Come on down to the Victoria Hotel in Yarraville for a casual lunch and catch up to celebrate Multiple Birth Awareness Week.    Kids can enjoy their recently renovated outdoor playground and indoor play area. Parents can enjoy great company, laughs and chats about the shared experience of raising multiples.   This year's theme is 'Make it a good start!'   "This year, we're shining a spotlight on how we can create better experiences for multiple birth families right from the beginning."   Please RSVP by 7/3 and comment the number of people attending so I can make a reservation.   Looking forward to catching up!  

Multiplay: Rainbow Fun! Come on down and join us for a little rainbow face or arm paint and stay to explore colourful activities for all preschool ages.
