More Information
Each day has a different theme and the kids will be able to take their craft project home with them at the end of each day.
The following is an idea of how the days are planned, the craft projects and talks that will be given. On the final day of the program, the kids will have the opportunity to have their photo taken with a couple of our special babies.
Space is limited to 20 children so please book early to avoid disappointment. The R100 per day fee will cover entrance to the park, craft materials and tea-time snack. We ask that you provide your child with a packed lunch which will be kept for them at the Cockatoo Cafe. We also recommend packing a hat, sunscreen and jacket to cover all weather conditions we may have during the course of the day.
