25.01.2022 We made musical instruments in our craft workshop this week. Otis can now enjoy playing his didgeridoo, shaker and especially his drum kit. Do you want to bring your 2 1/2 to 5 year old to come and try a craft workshop next Monday at 11.00am?

24.01.2022 We have been enjoying our Cars and Transport weeks at Wiz Kids Kindergym. Heres another craft idea to do at home: make a train from empty tissue boxes. Its easy, first cut the top off a tissue box and make two holes at either end. Use pipe cleaners to connect the carriages. Kids can put teddies, dolls and action figures in and drive them around the house. As you finish more tissue boxes, you can add more carriages. My kids loved this when they were little!

24.01.2022 We are going to be jumping around like rabbits for the next few weeks. Have fun with your children moving like other animals too. Can you move like a dog, cat, snake, kangaroo, sting ray, butterfly, grasshopper, caterpillar...what else?

24.01.2022 How to do the perfect forward roll: stand in a star shape, bend at your waist and put your hands down so your fingers are in line with your toes, tuck your head down, look through your legs and make your body round as you roll down the hill. Go on, try it!

23.01.2022 Wiz Kids Kindergym is open this Wednesday, so come and join us for a class as we pretend to be at the circus! 9.30am for crawlers up to 2 1/2 year olds, 10.30am for 2 to 3 year olds and 11.30am for 3 1/2 to 5 year olds. Book on 9578 2332, [email protected] or message us.

18.01.2022 After running Wiz Kids Kindergym for 11 years, today I handed it over to new owners, Nicole and Lana. They have merged it into their business, The Monkey House.

16.01.2022 We are enjoying autumn at Wiz Kids Kindergym now. Autumn is a great chance for your family to enjoy being active together - stomp on fallen leaves, rake them up, roll around in them, throw them in the air, collect them to make artwork. What else do you like to do with your children in autumn?
