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!
Delivered over 6 weeks for up to 25 children and their parents/carers. Sessions last 1-hour and are delivered in local, accessible community settings.
Children learn songs, movements and play games that encourage kindness. We encourage 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.
We focus on strengthening family bonds by providing an opportunity at the end of every session to participate in “Share Because We Care” with the Funky Tots Bear.
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.
