The 17th Annual Family Day of Toddlers Unlimited took a different turn this year. Instead of venturing to a far off (aka out of town) venue, the Parents Family Day Committee decided on a closer to home site – and chose the Cuenca Park of Ayala Alabang for this special day.
We kicked off the day with interesting booths for the children to enjoy. Armed with a Task Card, the children explored a Temporary Tattoo Salon, Tangrams Table, Fishing Area, and Art Corner prepared by their teachers. They also had game booths of: hay-animal-hunt and ring-toss-on-the-duckies sponsored by Tinker Tykes.
Then we joined our respective teams and with our games hosts Joy Tanyag and Denise Cariaso, and enjoyed a few fun team games. From making our own cool cheers to wrapping up our pretty mommy-mummies, from the tricky ping-pong pass to a hilarious balloon relay. We all had so much F-U-N!
Mad Science showed a short presentation that brought about lots of giggles from the children, as we guessed about where the water in the aluminum cups went.
The highlight of the day of course was the Animal Show by Dr. Bernardo and Tita Ming. The children were delighted to see all the animals – the talking parrots, cuddly bunnies, enormous snakes – just to name a few. It was so nice to see how all the children were so gentle with the animals, that the parents could not stop themselves from clicking away, snapping photo after photo!
