    The Singing Mammas, a locally based group of mums and their

    children will meet fortnightly in

    Heidelberg to sing up a storm.

    The choir is led by inspiring

    and experienced choir leader

    Emily Hayes. The group meets

    to sing songs from around the

    world and experience the joy

    and community that is created

    through singing together.

    The choir has been running for

    the past six months from a lounge

    room in Heidelberg Heights and

    while the parents fill the room with three part harmonies the toddlers

    and babies often join in with

    shakers and tapping sticks! The

    choir has found a new home for

    2013 to accommodate growing

    interest and new members. The

    new venue includes a play area

    for the children and singing

    is often followed by morning

    tea. This is a community choir

    (dads welcome too) and no

    experience is necessaryif you can talk you can sing!

    With the Strider Balance Bike, there are no tricycle

    tip-overs or training-wheel wobbles to create a

    fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding. The Strider

    balance bike helps toddlers learn balance and

    coordination BEFORE pedaling, which develops

    glittering confidence. So ditch the tricycle and

    training wheels, and teach your child to ride a bike

    sooner and safer with a Strider.

    For ages 18 months to 5 years.

    IF YOUR CHILD CAN WALK, YOUR CHILD CAN RIDE!

    No more tricycle tip-overs or training wheel wobbles
