Ocean Grove Boorai Playgroup

This week we have our Koala themed session to learn about how we can conserve the wild Koala and its habitat.

The windy weather kept us inside today, so we brought the fun inside! We made master pieces for our favourite people and got super messy playing with flour.

A big thanks to our committee team for putting on another awesome activity!

This week are celebrating the fathers, grandfathers and/or great grandfathers in our lives. Join us to create a card and play in pancake themed tubs.

Happy Book Week!

We had the most amazing and creative costumes this morning in celebration for Book Week. We saw a fairy and fairy godmother, two Schnitzel Von Krum’s and Hairy Maclary, Where’s Wally, a unicorn, a dinosaur and many more.

Our sensory play was inspired by the book ‘who sank the boat’ which had so many textures to feel and play with. Inside, we wrote our own stories and listened to the book ‘Pig in a Wig’

Thank you for all the parents and kids who participated in Book Week 📚

I spy with my little eye, something that’s red with black spots…

Today we played and explored the wonderful world of ladybirds 🐞

Our ladybird hunt was an absolute hit with our little explorers using their magnifying glasses to play hide and seek with our cheeky ladybirds. Inside, we created lots of unique critters!

Have a wonderful week!

Another huge thank you to our amazing committee members for working so hard and passionately for the last 2 terms. Your hard work and dedication is what makes this playgroup such a fun and welcoming space.

It was fantastic to see everyone in their pyjamas for our Pyjama party and we also got to play with our new sensory tray! What a fun and relaxed morning

Loads of fun for the kids (and one less thing you have to worry about in the morning!) So kids (and adults), stay in your PJs and join us for fun, games and morning tea provided.

Our space theme was ‘Out of this world’ 👽☄️🚀

It was a chilly start but when the sun made it’s appearance, it was a beautiful sunny morning. Our space themed craft and sensory tubs were a hit. The galaxy play dough was so fun to play with too!

We have one more week to go until our term break! See you all next week for our pyjama party 🥳

Calling all budding astronauts; it’s space week. See you Wednesday from 9:30am. 🚀⭐️🌙

Life is too short to not blow bubbles! 🫧🫧🫧

That’s exactly what we did this morning. We had foamy bubble tubs, while being surrounded by bubbles floating in the air. The homemade bubble wands worked amazingly and came in all different shapes and sizes. What a fun morning and we can’t wait to see you all again next week

Is there anything kids love more than bubbles? See you Wednesday. It’s going to be loads of fun

⚠️WARNING ⚠️

Construction in Process!

Our construction-themed morning was a huge success! Our sensory tubs were dirty and messy, with major construction underway. We made traffic cone names at our craft table, with some of our superstars starting to write their own names! 🚜🔧

Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who came in early to help set up and for the speedy cleanup at the end.

Have a wonderful week and we can’t wait to show you what’s install for next week 🫧🫧🫧

It’s time to get on the tools! See you on Wednesday for our construction themed week 🚜👷👷🏻‍♀️👷🏽‍♂️🚧

“Now he wasn't hungry any more- and he wasn't a little caterpillar any more. ” ...

Our little friends joined together this morning to feed our Very Hungry Caterpillar outside in the sensory tubs. Whilst inside, ‘He was a beautiful butterfly’ with some stunning cellophane art. Hope you all have a beautiful week and we can’t wait for you to join us next week 🐛🍓🍎🍉🍑🧁🧀🌭🍀🍦🥒

Come and feed our very hungry caterpillar this Wednesday!

The morning sun decided to join us and shone its light on our super cool alphabet-themed sensory play! We had a blast decorating the first letter of our names and making some new little buddies. Can't wait to see you all next week for more fun and games! 🤩

It's our alphabet themed session this week. Come and craft your initial this Wednesday. See you there!
