Le toboggan’s July Holiday Program

Le toboggan July holiday workshops

We are pleased to offer two fun and creative workshops this coming winter holidays.

We will be celebrating the World Cup with craft, games and quizzes. We will learn about what other French- and Spanish-speaking countries have qualified?

The children will make a mini foosball made from a shoe box, we will customise a T-shirt and paint soccer inspired decorations. They will also show off their soccer skills with a variety of games.

They will have the opportunity to let their creative minds take over in a hands on activity ‘Story telling through art’. Each child will be given a blank stool made of sturdy cardboard. The surfaces will be the canvas for them to illustrate their favourite stories. They can get their inspiration from their favourite book or make a story up.

Both workshops will be run in French and in Spanish as per below calendar;

Tue 7 July, 1pm-4pm, Celebrate the World Cup in Spanish

Wed 8 July, 1pm-4pm, Celebrate the World Cup in French

Tue 14 July, 1pm-4pm, Story telling through Art in Spanish

Wed 15 July, 1.30pm-4.30pm, Story telling through Art in French

The price is $65/child/workshop. Places are limited.

‘Le loup qui revait d’ocean’

Le loup qui revait d'ocean le toboggan

In French, from 3yo.

Wolf wants to go on an adventure on the ocean. His friends’d rather play on the beach so he decides to sail on his own with a treasure map he found in washed away bottle. His adventure does not start well, he is attacked by pirates who stole his treasure map. Then his boat sinks. A friendly dolphin takes him to see the king of the ocean, Poseidon. He is happy to see Wolf and shows him the ocean, the beautiful corals, the colourful fish but also all the pollution due to man dumping trash in the sea. The seas are slowly dying with the plastic, tyres and other litter. Poseidon tasks Wolf with a mission, to tell his friends about the ocean and to be respectful of it and no dump trash. Wolf agrees and returns to his friends and tells them about the treasure he found and how together they must save the ocean.

This is a great book to bring awareness to the impact of pollution. Get your copy at https://letoboggan.com.au/product/le-loup-qui-revait-docean/
