National Playgroup Week
The annual National Playgroup Week begins this weekend, which means tons of fun for the nippers.
By Sascha Ryner
As part of annual National Playgroup Week, kids can have a ball at one of the World's Biggest Playgroup Day events being held around the country this Friday 30 April. At Holroyd Gardens - this year's main event - children can play with Dorothy the Dinosaur at Wiggles Music classes. They'll also have fun with bubbles, slime and playdough, and can even learn to make puppets. Be sure to bring a picnic rug and a sunhat to enjoy the free shows including Go Seek and the Rhythm Factory Movement & Dance Show.
Plus with Playgroup NSW coordinating an array of fantastic shows, petting zoos and jumping castles at sites all over Sydney, there's plenty to see and do on the day, no matter where you live. Visit www.playgroupaustralia.com.au for more details of what's happening in your area.
