The Basics Tasmania - Kingborough Pop up event

On Friday, 13th August, The Basics Tasmania coordinated an event for children aged Birth to 5, held at the Kingborough HUB. Schools and services from the Kingborough community, provided pop-up stalls with engaging activities to promote children's health and development. Each stall was related to one of the 5 key 'basics' each child needs to have the best start in life:

1. Talk, Sing & Point;

2. Maximise Love, Manage Stress;

3. Count, Group and Compare;

4. Explore through Movement and Play; and

5. Read and Discuss Stories.

It was fabulous to see so many of our Explorers families attend along with families from other Kingborough schools and services. There was so much on offer for the children to explore and enjoy, and we were sheltered from the wind and rain inside the HUB. Some did brave the windy weather to enjoy the outdoor play equipment, provided for 'Explore through Movement and Play'.

We were all so pleased with how the event went and hope to be able to have more of these pop-up style events in the future.
