Great news for all our existing and new Tui & Tama’s Kids Club members! We are launching another 6 month activity booklet ready for the school holidays!
Each month starting July until December 2024, one of our Tui & Tama friends will introduce new activities. All you have to do is come on in, complete the activities and receive your special sticker in the new 6 month booklet.
There’s great FREE activities to complete every month so keep your booklet and bring it in every time you visit!
If you receive all 6 stickers you will be in the draw for another awesome experience!
This July we’re celebrating Matariki with Kiwi!
