Create fridge magnets or posters
In this workshop the group will design a fridge magnet or poster with the message ‘Do things together that you enjoy’.
Start by asking the group:

- As a child, what things did you enjoy doing with your parents?
Make a list of everything that is mentioned.
As a group, discuss what it’s like to do something together with tamariki that you both enjoy. Ask:
- What do you think it’s like for your pēpi or tamaiti?
- What do you think pēpi learns when those moments happen?

Use Tākai or other resources for inspiration. Ask the group:
- What are people doing together in these booklets?
- How does it make you feel to see happy parents and children doing things together?
