THE TOYBOX!

As you may have read last time we're at the four stages of implementation for the playspace at Te Manawa! And we're excited to tell you, stage one, THE TOYBOX is at Te Manawa now! The Toybox is about encouraging interactive play, and creating memories with each other. We had Manawatu ITM kindly donate wood for the Toybox! Neil from Te Manawa and his awesome building skills build the Toybox, and Palmerston North City Council donate $500 towards the goodies inside for the community to use!! We are so thankful for the support and encouragement from everyone.

Hopscotch, four square and "making your mark" were big in our ideas stage of finding out what this playspace should be... so inside, there is chalk to be used to create your favourite games, write your name or draw a face... and not only that, we have painted the Toybox in chalkpaint so it can be decorated! We have balls, pat-a-tennis, skipping ropes, elastics, twister, giant snakes and ladders, books and heaps more. And even better, we have magazines for parents and picnic blankets to sit back, relax and eat your lunch! Summer is coming so its a perfect excuse to get the family and friends together to come and explore!
