Kidz [only] Zone – Saturday

with Playbriola

Saturday July 11
11:00am – 4:30pm

Location: Maffeo Sutton Park

This event is Free

This one is for the kids. Playbriola affirms that playing with the box is way more fun than with the product inside. Piles of boxes, paints, safe tools and adult supervision provide kids hours of creative, whole body play. It gets them dancing with flexible thinking as they develop a sense of control, pride in their creations and self-esteem. They will sleep well, too. Playbriola, based on Gabriola, is the brain child of David O’Reid, a kid at heart – he’ll even help them make a cupola in his favourite colour, iola!
