Need Mothers Group Ideas

[Laranna]

Have you thought about turning your Mothers Group into a Playgroup? That's what ours did as the kids were getting too big and mobile for everyone's little houses. We looked around at a few centres in our area and we just started a new group at our preferred time each week. The kids get lots of freeplay inside and outside. They are all nearly 2 now so we are starting to think about more structured things like sitting down to eat morning tea, having set activities like drawing, playdoh, music, etc. It works well for the size of our group

Thanks ladies, i LOVE playdough and so does DD but i'm not sure how the other girls would feel about it.. we can give it a try.

Am loving the idea of maybe story time at the library, swimming, mummy & me movies.

Eluned - so what do we do, approach the local playgroups and say we want to organise our own?

i second the playgroup idea - my MG has just joined up with the MG before ours who have started a session at a local playgroup.

you can check on the playgroup victoria website & it has details of registered playgroups or i guess you could approach a local one? i went to our centre's open day on saturday & it's awesome - heaps of outdoor area with a cubby house, sandpits, slides & inside lots of different toys & art/craft activity. and they had a petting zoo for open day - i think i had more fun than DS i can't wait to get started! you need to pay a fee to playgroup vic (i think it's $25) and that's your insurance then your centre will have it's own fees.
