Tiny Book Club @ 1 King Albert Park

Hi parents, I am a mom of a 22 month old toddler and I have been hosting open-ended play sessions for a growing community of parents of babies and toddlers who meet regularly to play together.

Check out @tinyplayclub (https://www.instagram.com/tinyplayclub) on Instagram, where I share reels and snippets of our community events and play sessions and play ideas that the kids loved.

I am so excited to share that Tiny Play Club is collaborating with Charlene, one of the mums in our community who is also the founder of Lil'Crate Books - a local bookstore curating meaningful reads for children to host a book club for babies, toddlers and preschoolers at my home.

At each book club hosted with Lil'Crate Books, children will discover important social values through a curated selection of books that Charlene will bring to each book club session that are free to browse and read during the session. At our first book club, we discovered the value of resilience and believing in yourself, espoused by the tiny fly in Mabel and the Mountain by Kim Hillyard.

At our upcoming book club on 24 July, we will learn about the importance of self-identity through A colour of his own by Leo Lionni and explore colour mixing together. We will host regular book club sessions on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings for a maximum of 6 kids to keep it cosy.

⁣Notes:

This is a private event only for the Tiny Play Club community. To join the community, please WhatsApp me at 87266246 to introduce yourself and your child(ren). There are no membership fees to join the community. As this is an in-person community, I want to make sure that I personally know every attending family to keep the community safe.

• Please WhatsApp me at 87266246 before booking tickets if you have not attended the play sessions before, or tickets will be automatically cancelled.
• These play sessions are adult accompanied. Parents, grandparents and/or helpers are welcome.
• A maximum of 2 adult caregivers per family so as not to crowd the play space
• *Please bring healthy food items such as fresh or cooked food for the kids to share during snack time. The food will be placed on a low table for the kids to serve themselves. I kindly request parents not to bring puffs or packaged snacks as my child has a weakness towards these addictive snacks and those snacks will affect his appetite for meals and worsen his picky eating :-D
• Feel free to WhatsApp me at 87266246 if you’d like to join us or if you have any questions!
