    Hello to all mums with toddlers,


    I'am a stay at home mum(currently pursuing a Pre School Teacher Training course) with a 2.5 yr old boy, would anyone of you be interested in participating in a playgroup for toddlers with some fun art and craft activities? It would be nice social time for our kids n mums too! I can take the initiative of organizing these art and craft activities for a small fee like 20 dhs and we could meet once or twice a week at a convenient time and location lets say... zabeel park/creek park(with this lovely weather!). I have been checking for playgroups but most of them happen in the new parts of Dubai like JBR, Marina, Ranches so thought it a good idea to start one for those closer to older side of Dubai like Bur Dubai, karama...would really appreciate your feedback. If these are even 2 or more mums interested we could get started preety soon!

    Thanks
    Jennifer

    I would also be interested to find some playmates for my 2.5 yr daughter. She is going to nursery...I am not sure whether she is will interested in art and craft items, she is more into running and playing and enjoys company of other kids. So if you could arrange physical activities for the toddlers which is very rare in dubai due to weather n lack of open space, it would be great. I stay in burdubai ,for me any weekday evenings will suit around 6.30 pm anywhere in karama/burdubai/zaabeel.

    Hey Annu,

    Thanks for replying. We can definitely look into varied activities, the idea is to meet atleast once a week :) There is a lovely play area between Gate 1 & 2 at Zabeel park! However 6.30 pm wld be a bit late as it gets dark at 6pm nowadays. Are you a working mum? Are you open to meeting at wknds?

    Hi ladies....I have a 13 month old daughter and am looking to get her playing with other kids. She loves other kids and would love arts and crafts or music related stuff. I live in Shj so I'd take a cab to wherever you guys are meeting. Would love to do this once a week so please let me know if you are meeting. Mornings work better for me..around 11:30ish so I can beat work traffic...weekends would work too. Thanks! :)

    Hi Jennifer,
    I stumbled on your post while searching for a playgroup in Golden sands area, your son must be 3.5 yrs now, I too have a daughter who has just turned 3, she goes to nursery, She is little shy and takes time to open up.

    I was wondering whether you managed to build any play group? the idea of arts and craft is wonderful, let me know whether you are arranging any meetups. I would definitely like to join with my daughter.
    Regards,
    Deepa
