The countdown is on to this year’s Central Coast Kids Day Out, to be held from 10am to 3pm on Sunday, May 7, at Narara Valley High School.
Now in its 24th year, the annual event provides all the fun that kids can have in one day as well as valuable information for parents and caregivers for raising happy kids and families.
Gate prices are reasonable, with almost everything free inside.
This year the free activities include carnival rides, which is sure to be a winner with the children.
Other free activities include: Little Kickers and AFL on the oval teaching ball sports and teamwork; the ever popular baby chicken hatchlings; and the Animal Farm.
Li’l Industries will be on hand with its series of books, introducing kids to all sorts of trades and careers and Chef Daniel from Baker Street will be cooking up a storm and showing little budding chefs how it’s done.
In the Baby Sensory Room, little ones can spend some quiet time crunching and crinkling a variety of bits and pieces and Nursery Rhyme Land provides an interactive room where children can immerse themselves in fantasy.
This year they can meet Miss Muffet and Old MacDonald or sit with Miss Polly as she puts her kettle on, as nursery rhymes come to life.
The stage in Nursery Rhyme Land will feature children’s entertainers The Tiptoe Giants, presenting fun original songs which feature great messages for kids.
The Tiptoe Giants will also have a couple of spots on the main outdoor stages.
There will be pony rides from Coast Kids Horseriding.
The free shows will include The Bluey Live Interactive Experience and the fabulous crew of pups from PAW Patrol.
Also on the program will be Woosical the Musical, based on the WorryWoos books which are in most primary schools. Seven cute characters represent emotions and suggesting strategies to deal with negative emotions.
This engaging little show is just delightful, and children will recognise Wince and all his friends from the books.
There will be an array of schools and dance and performance academies across two stages throughout the day.
Central Coast Kids Day Out is an information mecca for parents and caregivers.
Under the COLA area a myriad of services and agencies will provide valuable information on keeping children healthy, thriving and fulfilled, and for the wellbeing of all families, including benevolent and care societies with a strong focus on the more vulnerable and challenged families and kids in our community.
More than 70 stallholders will be there on the day.
The Fun Engine will showcase an antique engine and the wonderful emergency services Police, SES and Fire and Rescue, will be there to share their safety messages.
Healthy Harold, Big Dog and Kody the Friendship Bear will all be there, along with three Cleanaway Waste Warrior characters at their education van.
Bookmobile and Life Education vans are just another two on site vans.
Central Coast Kids Day Out is a not-for-profit event, organised by a dedicated group of volunteers with the support of the community members and sponsors.
