Funky Tots
An exciting interactive music and movement programme that parents, grandparents, and carers can participate in with their child. Each session encourages children, regardless of race or gender to express themselves through music and song in a “cool and current” way.
What's it all about?
Enjoy the programme music while you find out more!
Funky Tots classes are designed with parent and child in mind. The 45 minute sessions are high energy, fun and enjoyable for young children aged 2-4yrs to engage in. Delivered in a safe and effective way that encourages individuality. With the use of props including glitter microphones, and toy guitars, the children will have the opportunity to practice being a pop or rock star and will participate in the “Funky Tots Catwalk” and special hand shake. Children will learn songs, movements to encourage kindness and understanding
These programs can be implemented in a number of ways, in accordance with your needs and requirements, delivered to children aged 2-4 years old.
How can we help?
During these unprecedented times along with the acceleration of social media over the past few years, children have become increasingly distant from communicating with parents and family members, so we have designed a programme that provides an opportunity at the end of every session to “share with your bear because we care” introducing the Funky Tots Bear.
This encourages open discussions with the parent and child about feelings and emotions, which allows children to have a voice and the opportunity to strengthen their communication skills in a safe environment.
Funky Tots will make it “cool and current” for boys and girls to dance with their parents.
