Renae Reilly [email protected] An enchanted 'fairy themed' picnic at Karabar playgroup (age group 0-5). We'd do singing, dancing, percussion, games, craft and face painting - we'd encourage grandparents to participate in the activities (and have their faces painted!) Funds would go towards the cost of picnic food, games, craft materials and facepainting supplies.

[email protected] We would like to encourage our senior community members to get involved in our regular playgroup sessions (which are held on a Friday). We feel this will bridge a gap between our young families and older community members in creating friendships and purpose. We plan on hosting a special launch event, which will ask for community volunteers and grandparents involvement in playgroup, with a lovely morning tea and craft session planned. This will also encourage on-going involvement.
