🎄 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄

Last week was full of Christmas magic at Camden Playgroup. The kids enjoyed decorating their own Christmas tree ornaments with stickers, glitter, and lots of sparkle. 🎉✨

We also loved snuggling up for story time with a super fun Christmas pop-up book!

Everyone’s already excited for more Christmas crafts, festive songs, and celebrations this week for our very last playgroup of the year! ✨🎅🎁

✨ Empowering Families to understand the latest NDIS changes ✨

Earlier this month, Jay, one of our dedicated Support Coordinators from Disability Macarthur, delivered an informative and engaging presentation at our Minto MyTime Support Group, unpacking the latest NDIS updates. The session was incredibly valuable and warmly received by our members. 💛

Staying up to date with these changes is essential for families. It helps parents and carers understand what supports are available, how to access them, and how any updates might affect their current plans. Having Jay share his knowledge ensures our members receive clear, practical guidance from someone who works closely with families every day.

✨ A Magical Week at Playgroup ✨

At playgroup, it’s not just about crafts; our circle time is where the magic happens!

This week, the room was filled with music, movement, and the happiest little voices as the children sang and danced to the Hokey Pokey. There were wiggly arms, giggly legs, and so many bright smiles. It’s amazing to see how music and movement spark confidence, coordination, and joyful connection. 💛

Our Book of the Week was the timeless favourite Where is Spot? The children were completely captivated, guessing where Spot might be hiding and eagerly lifting each flap to find out. Their curiosity and excitement made story time truly special.

Circle time remains the heart of our sessions. Singing, dancing, storytelling, and shared moments make playgroup an experience full of warmth, learning, and laughter.

With just 4 weeks left before we wrap up for the term, we’d love to welcome all families to come along and join the fun. There’s still plenty of joy to share! 💛

💛 Fun, Friends & Fuzzy Moustaches at Camden Playgroup! 💛

We had such fun at our Camden Playgroup, celebrating Movember with lots of colour and creativity! 🥸✨

The kids had a blast designing their own moustaches using sparkly paper, stickers, glue pens and textas, then showing them off to their friends and family. 💫

During circle time, one of our little book lovers chose this week’s story: Find Spot at the Library! 📚 We finished the morning with a delicious fruit salad full of watermelon, mandarins, strawberries, bananas and apples. 🍉🍌🍓

Our Minto Playgroup is open and ready to welcome new families.

🎨 Holiday Fun at Home: Easy Activities for Little Ones! 🎨

While our playgroup takes a short break, we know many parents are looking for ways to keep their little ones busy, happy, and engaged at home. So we've put together a few simple, fun ideas to try during the holidays:

👐 DIY Sensory Play
Fill a tub with rice, pasta, or water beads. Add scoops, cups, and small toys for a calming, hands-on experience that encourages exploration and fine motor skills.

💃 Dance Party Breaks
Pop on your child’s favourite tunes and have a 10-minute dance-off! It’s silly, energising, and a great way to boost everyone’s mood.

🛏️ Indoor Obstacle Course
Use cushions, chairs, and blankets to build a mini adventure trail. It’s perfect for burning off energy and developing coordination, all while having fun!

And while we’re on pause, we’re also looking back with joy at the fun we shared this term, from messy play and music time to outdoor adventures and creative crafts.

Everyone is welcome, and we’d love to see you on our return! 💛
