It is good to know that here are lots of different activities for children being conducted in the community and is open to everyone. For those who are new to Perth and its surrounding areas, especially stay at home mothers, it is such a relieved to be exposed on where they could bring their babies and kids to these activities; which is very beneficial for the children and the mothers as well.

Library is one of the these interesting places. Not only for kids but for family as a whole. Most state libraries offer lots of wonderful activities either weekly, monthly during the term school or even during school holidays. Activities are being conducted for children as early as babies to even adults. If you have babies or toddlers up to the age of 3years old, you are most welcome to join their Family Rhyme Time that usually being held in the morning session during term school. For a bit older kids aged 2-4 years old that has not started school yet, are welcome to join their story telling session where kids are having fun with nursery rhymes songs, story session and arts and craft activity after that. This is such a great opportunity for the children to get to know and mingle with other kids and also for the mothers, fathers or even grandparents to socially involve with other parents in the surrounding community. You may check your local library websites for the schedule information and in our area, different library are conducting on a different days. So if you are available, you are welcome to come at all different libraries in your area =)

School holidays activities are being offered for them, usually it's free without charge but with bookings in advance to secure spots. Activities are being conducted in themes such as sciences, animals and natures and lots more to encourage and brings creativity among the children.

One of the great opportunities that should not be missed especially for migrants, are the informal English conversations classes offered by the local library. It is open for everyone and free at no costs. Sometimes they also offers women only classes at the library.

In addition to that, you also have the choice to join any of the playgroups available in your area. At a minimal costs, you can bring your children at the playgroup and have the opportunity to use all the toys and facilities offered such as outdoor playground, dressing up room, educational blocks and also taking part in the arts and crafts session. The children also get to learn on how to interact with other children, sharing toys and learn simple manners among them. Simple activity like this although looks small, it actually can bring positive impact to small children if being expose at an early age.
