Mana Kids News
The best board games
This April School Holidays, we had a ‘BYOB’ - bring your own boardgame - day and the kids absolutely loved it!
We had all the classics such as Jenga, Guess Who, Chess, Pick Up Sticks, Snakes & Ladders, as well some fun new games to try.
We enjoyed this article from the the New York Times, outlining their favourite family boardgames. What’s your favourite game?
Build a Robot Day
Beep bop! Robot Day has been a great success!
The kids have been busy this morning sketching out their own robot designs (including Matt!), building models of their robots with lego and are now constructing their robots from all the interesting craft materials, boxes and recycled goodies we've been procuring over the past few weeks.
Would you like a cupcake with those sprinkles?
We’ve never seen such excellently decorated cupcakes than we did during Decorate a Cupcake Day. The kids took their decorating task VERY seriously and managed to each create a cupcake of EPIC proportions (and sugar highs)!
