Hi MOOvers! I have two daughters (9 & 7) and two sons (4 & 1), a husband, and a puppy. We have lived here in Canberra all of our lives. We love music and movement and messy play in our house. In fact, it is often our saving grace when all else fails! Our family and friends share our passion too. Whenever possible, we try to get to activities involving music, being active, loose parts, nature play, or just getting out of the house and away from the screens.
What to expect at Moo
Maggie Moo Music offers fun and interactive Music & Movement sessions for 0 to 5 year old children and their parents, grandparents or carers, where the children sing, dance and play. The interactive sessions will help your child gain confidence and develop memory, language and coordination skills in an exciting, enjoyable and multi-sensory way.
Children also love Messy Moo and so do parents/carers who don’t have to clean up! Children can use their imagination and get messy with a range of different materials and textures, making it a fun, multi-sensory experience. We get wet, slimy, or covered in paint. We crunch, squeeze, or find things in different materials. These sessions promote sensory explorations, foster imagination, enhance colour recognition, encourage experiments and create a positive attitude towards new experiences.
Attending Maggie Moo Music sessions are also a great way to make new friends – both for the children and the adults too! Music is an essential part of every child’s development and the 125 original Moo Music songs, the soundtrack of every session, are positive, uplifting, fun and educational.
