The Maribyrnong Toy Library in the West Footscray Neighbourhood House, is calling out to all families in the area, to come to their Spring Family Fun day on Saturday, September 23.
Jodie Barrett said on every school holidays they usually run an event at the toy library for families to enjoy.
“In the past we have done a build and create day, an active play day, we usually get around 70 kids and adults,” she said.
“We are expecting similar numbers for this event as we are going to have visits from the Western Bulldogs and Victoria University.”
There will be many activities on the day, including sensory activities for babies, arts and crafts as well as other surprises which Jodie said she didn’t want to spoil.
“We hope families, especially babies and kids aged 0-5, can come in and enjoy spring with their community and family.
“It is a BYO picnic, so people can come and enjoy their food while engaging with the community.”
Seddon Deadly Sins will be supplying coffee on the day, which Jodie said generously supplied them with their coffee machine.
“All proceeds made from coffee purchases go back into our community programmes for the house.”
Jodie said all of the children’s activities are great for development.
“We are really excited to see so many families post COVID, after the pandemic we saw a real influx of babies so it’s great to see everyone coming together to spend time with their loved ones.”
The free event will be held from 11.00am to 1.00pm, funded by the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund.
