We enjoy lots of activities throughout the week and one of our favorites is a weekly musical playgroup called Toddler Jam. It's not a class like the Kindermusik we did back in Dublin. It's a pay as you go playgroup. 45 minutes of live music lead by Eliot, a very talented guy with a guitar and a number of other instruments. Then it's morning tea (fruit and crackers for kids, cakes for the mums) and an hour of playtime. It really is a great program, lots of fun for kids and parents.
A favorite for all is when the quiet song is played and all the kids lay on the floor together while the parents wave a big parachute over their head. C flaps his arms and kicks his legs with excitement!
D has always enjoyed it but now C is getting old enough to appreciate it too. At one point they pass around big tubs full of kids' instruments and we play along with the song. Last week C grabbed a pair of maracas and jammed right along to "Mellow Yellow." D was on the tambourine. They also hand out little plastic plates which make surprisingly great instruments when smacked together.
