Thursdays with Maya | Travelling around the world with a musical boat
Hop aboard a musical boat and set off on a journey around the world!
Through stories, songs, crafts and the arts of different cultures, children discover new places and traditions, develop their imagination and learn the joy of creating and playing together.
At every meeting, we listen to stories, sing and play, and make artifacts inspired by children from different corners of the world — from West Africa to New Zealand, and from Italy to China.
