acrokids, braeside
Sign the kids up to burn off energy and learn some awesome moves!
If your little ones are anything like Mamma's, they're always on the go! Cartwheels, somersaults, even trying backflips - they're always looking for their next move.
That's why Acrokids classes are the perfect solution to contain all that energy! With different groups for all ages and abilities, each class lasts an hour and covers all the best parts of acrobatics. We're talking flips, jumps, and twirls - the things that make gymnastics so fun!
But don't let the fun fool you - these classes are a serious workout, and lots of skills are learnt! So if you want your little ones to have a blast while getting fit, Acrokids is the place to be. The classes run weekly and also offer workshops every school holidays.
You can also have parties here - where you get the WHOLE venue to yourself. More info on parties HERE.

creative makes, hastings
The kids have a go at painting, shaping play-dough, cutting and pasting, drawing, creating animals and so much more.
What could be better than getting little hands messy in an educational and creative way?
This great class is all about the process of art, not the actual end result. It’s about learning the different textures of things, what happens when you mix things together, using all types of products and the different techniques of how to use them.
The kids have a go at painting, shaping play-dough, cutting and pasting, drawing, creating animals and so much more. They then get to take their creative masterpieces home.
Classes go for 45 minutes, with the last 5 minutes reserved for story time, a great way to calm and centre the little ones after their creative experience.
There are also supplies that you can purchase there to take home and create your own fun.

These classes are great at instilling confidence and important life skills for kids aged 5 to 16. Not only do they learn how to make delicious goodies like cookies, breads and chocolate treats - they also get to take them home!
Classes are run by a lovely and patient teacher - who also happens to have years of experience in childcare, which is just an added bonus!
Classes are held on weekends with most being about an hour in length - although there are also all day classes during the school holidays. Having a teacher qualified in childcare is very handy for this!!

This is not your average art class!

This is not your average art class!

Held at the magnificent Mount Martha House, this is such a stunning location to get creative in.
Start the class off with a bit of an outdoor play to shake out the sillies - then a welcoming song to warm up little bodies. Then it is time for a story - of which, will be the theme for the artwork. Our theme was a pigeon who needed a bath.
The little ones got to make a magnet, paint a piece of canvas to make bunting, use some glitter, glue and paste! So many different forms of crafty fun.
Finish the class off with a bit of the hokey pokey and sharing of the masterpieces created, and there you have one hour of creative, active enjoyment - and hopefully exhausted the little ones enough for their afternoon nap!
Mamma's special mention:
Why not head into Mornington and stroll Main Street Market once your Arty fun has finished?
