Dear London Mums

Autumn leaves, clouds in the sky and the first chills after the Summer. This calls for no-cost creative activities to do with kids this Autumn as well as Halloween parties. Check out at my suggestions. 

Ideas for no-cost creative activities to do with kids this autumn

 

Mark your diary with the London Mums Christmas Party & Panzerotto Blues feast including a breakdancing Santa, Putney 18 November 2017 6-8pm

Get your tickets early as the party is on a Saturday and it usually gets busier. I hope to see many of you there.

 

BACK IN THE WEST END THIS CHRISTMAS

 

“Your child’s first book is now their first Theatre experience…” Jonathan Rockefeller (Producer)

 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by author and illustrator Eric Carle has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969 selling more than 43 million copies worldwide.

 

 

The timeless classic has now made its way off the page and is back onto the West End stage this December.

This critically acclaimed production features a menagerie of 75 lovable puppets, faithfully adapting four of Eric Carle stories: The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse, The Very Lonely Firefly and of course, the star of the show – The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

 

 

World Space Week 

To get ideas and inspiration for World Space Week 2017  the Kids’ Club and some London Mums attended New Scientist Live. Take a look at what we did and how we felt inspired by the astronauts talks as well as other scientists.
