June Parenting Workshops with The Baby Expo
Two creative and interactive parenting workshops in June brought to you by
The Bright Ideas Outfit and The Baby Expo
NUTS & BOLTS WORKSHOP©
Join creative parenting expert and author, Nikki Bush for a fun, interactive workshop covering:
- the specific perceptual skills your child needs to acquire within the first 6 years of life in order to be ready for school
- how to be really creative with your classic toys such as: shape sorters and stackers, threading and pegging games, matching and association games, puzzles, gross motor equipment, construction toys, etc.
This workshop takes parents well beyond what’s in the instruction leaflets. Parents are encouraged to put their own stamp on their child’s play experiences by using their imagination, adding love letters, breaking the rules and combining games in order to create more games! Come prepared to play.

PARENTING ON THE RUN© WORKSHOP
Parents today are busy. Being able to parent creatively – on the run – makes your parenting journey easier and much more fun. In this workshop, creative parenting expert and author, Nikki Bush, introduces the concept of cheating time and turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, helping parents to give away the guilt they so often feel.
She will show you how time spent in the car; doing household chores and activities; or waiting for appointments, can be so valuable to both you and your child – it is never a waste of time! This insightful talk is peppered with personal anecdotes and you will leave armed with over 100 creative and practical ideas for converting wasted time with your children into quality time.
Nikki will also include her ever-popular suggestions on what toys to pack for travelling, or for when you are simply on the run. Connecting and communicating your child can be so easy, even for busy parents.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? All parents of children from 2 – 8 years. Join us for some interactive, creative fun.

TESTIMONIALS
“I can’t believe that I don’t have to feel guilty about being busy anymore!” Audrey Stanley
“If parents put into practice just a handful of these ideas they would reinforce what we are teaching at pre-school and we would be referring fewer children for therapy. We need to get this message out to more parents”. Glynnis Courtney, Head of HeronBridge Pre-Prep and chairlady of the ISASA pre-school committee 2006.
“Many thanks for the fantastic Parenting on the Run workshop. Your practical suggestions have worked brilliantly for us. I have two very busy little boys (4 and 2) who are easily bored and distracted, but they are putty in my hands with my newfound “box of tricks”! “ Kathleen Bartels
“Nikki’s talks are of the moment. She is adept at creating ideas around things that are changing.” Mel Dace, Head of the Junior Primary, St Stithian’s College, May 2009.
