The show was all about water and its benefits. The Ringmaster Riptide explored and experimented with the properties of water with squirts, spurts and sprays in every conceivable direction!The children laughed and cheered throughout the show. At the end of the show the children had a photo with Riptide showing their enjoyment with big grins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Petting Zoo visited as our children are always intrigued by farm animals. A pen was set-up with a goat, bunnies, Guinea pigs and chicks for children to handle, feed and pat. The pet handler shared interesting facts about each animal with the children that added to the experience. Every child had a wonderful time connecting with and learning about animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The circus came to OOSH to teach the children some tricks. Circus coach Jewelz taught them how to use a hula hoop, rainbow ribbons and spin a plate. The children played games that challenged their physical skills, balance and coordination and got them to work in teams. A highlight was a mindfulness\u00a0activity that required the children to balance a peacock feather on their fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re currently planning our next vacation care program with each of these experiences in mind.
