Allergy Friendly Activities
There will be a big range of fun allergy friendly activities running throughout the morning.
Furry friend medic area
Playing is kid’s work, it’s how they learn. Kids can bring along their favourite cuddly toy and they can help them to learn about and manage their allergies and treat them at the furry friends’ medic area. Perhaps they need to manage their eczema with wet wraps, practice using an epipen with an epipen trainer, write up an action plan, use a spacer or just have a check-up.
Face Painter
Magic touch face painters will be there and for a gold coin donation kids can get a fun design on their face or arm. Lauren uses face paints especially designed for sensitive skin and we will have a print out of the ingredients on the day so you can check they are safe.
Giant Bubbles
Come and see the ASH dad’s attempt giant bubbles on the main lawn. Have a go, see if you can make them any bigger!! Ingredients will be listed at this station.
Craft Activities
There will be two tables filled with craft fun, allergy friendly of course. One for the littles 1-4 year olds and one for the bigger kids 5 plus. Draw an allergy mate and add it to our mural, colour in one of the allergy awareness posters or decorate an Easter egg and enter it in our competition to win a Sweet William chocolate pack at the end of the day.
Playdough Station
Join in some sensory fun at the playdough station. Our playdough is made from corn and rice flours and care is taken to make it in an allergy safe environment. We will be asking families to wash children’s hands before and after play.
