It's Play School

The kids and I went to the Play School concert yesterday. The verdict? ........ It was awesome and I highly recommend it as a fun outing for littlies (and also big kids at heart!).

This is why I recommend it:

1. It is good value at only $14.50 per ticket. Perfect. I think that price is very reasonable for a live show.
2. It is kid length. 45 minutes is just enough for all toddlers and preschoolers.
3. The actual show was engaging. Great stories and songs that are familiar and easy to sing along to. 
4. It is local! They play them at your local RSL, so I didn't have to trump into the city with two kids. Big bonus.
5.  The actors are very talented, with captivating stage presence. (You rock Tao!) There were no over the top squeaky kiddy voices that so many kid entertainers have these days ( they make me cringe!). There is even some humour for adults thrown in if your listening close enough. 
6. It is not over stimulating. I like that they used simple creative props, with a piano and two actors. That's it, and it is really all that pre schoolers need. 

Whilst these pro's are important to the ease and success of the day, the bit I loved most was seeing James up dancing with his friend Liam and singing his favourites songs. So cute and priceless really. So as I write this I realise it sounds as though it is a bit of an advertisement. I wish I was being paid to review it, but alas no that is not the case. We just had a great time! A big thanks to my friend Karrie for organising it. Put it in your diaries peeps as something to do that is well worthwhile, if not for this year, for next  :)
