Sunday afternoon lesson enjoyed as the sun stayed around.

15/09/2024

Saturday's gorgeous birthday cake enjoyed alongside horse riding, guinea pigs and bunny cuddles, art and games. Sunday's horse riding lesson in the morning sun. Fun weekend at Trickle Creek.

11/09/2024

Volcanoes in the sandpit, water play and animal care filled our day of play. Balancing a peacock feather on our finger a bonus. Nice to have the sun out again.

08/09/2024

Two more fabulous parties 🥳
Saturday winds led to sack races in the sky, Sunday's party warm and dry. And the cakes wow lucky kids!

28/08/2024

The freezer gave up working and so we moved it outside, where it became a roading hazard work site, an art storage facility, and a recycling station. An old jug started our water play activities, of pet bowl filling, cups of tea, and with the added effects of the handsoap and plastic pipes we blew buckets of bubbles. Scoobie had a good brush and fed hay in the sunshine too.

25/08/2024

More parties enjoyed this weekend but only one super duper cake to share from yesterday's party as today's were going home to have cake. Was neat to hear our guests traveled in from Raumati today to party though.

21/08/2024

The hammer and nail art turned into using carpentry tools later in the day. The carpentry turned into building structures and then into a boat to sail. Magic.

18/08/2024

Two more awesome parties had here at Trickle Creek. Amazing cakes and lots of fun had as we embraced the 'theres no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing' code. Thanks for sending in the photos from your Saturday party too.

14/08/2024

Another fun day exploring Trickle Creek. Sand play, mud play, hay play. Bunnies, sheep, guinea pig cuddles, fish, chickens all fed. We built a track from wooden planks and raced toy cars on them, cut hay with scissors because we can, and danced on the deck. We played the piano and sung our own songs. Awesomeness

12/08/2024

One of two riders for Scoobie Doo lessons before the storm came in yesterday. Super great efforts all round.

11/08/2024

Two more super cute parties this weekend. Love their cakes and art. Very clever. Thanks for partying with us too.

07/08/2024

We spent time today digging in the dirt and jumping from the tree stumps. Playing chase and rolling down the hill were fun too. Crazy glasses and giggles, art and story books. Counting pebbles in the old bath of stones and painting tree stumps just because we can.

04/08/2024

Lovely day to party today. Gorgeous pavlova cake, fun art too. Thanks for partying with us.

31/07/2024

We had to dress up super warm to brave the elements. The horses enjoyed a warm bucket feed, and music and instruments were high on our activity list as we made music to fill the hills of Horokiwi! Thanks to those who donated the fun games and the new musical instruments, we had fun exploring them.

30/07/2024

Reconnecting after a break, they enjoyed catching up even on a colder day. Fabulousness.

28/07/2024

Two lovely parties celebrated with us at Trickle Creek. Two fabulous cakes, some super cool art and many happy party goers. Awesomeness 👌

24/07/2024

What a glorious day sharing Trickle Creek with these busy bees. Scoobie enjoyed a pamper, mud sliding, pet care, bug hunts the works. We have a couple of spaces available for our Wednesday preschool group, so book online if you'd like to try us out or come as a casual, or better still join our group as a regular. Www.tricklecreek.co.nz under childcare.

Lost property from our school holiday programmes, could they be yours?

23/07/2024

We have been cutting hay bales with scissors for while this morning and while my mind wanders to other things on the farm I realise there's so much learning going on here. Great conversations between them about turntaking, cutting high and low, thick and thin strips, singing, counting, shaping the hay, filling containers and emptying them. All great mathematical skills. So we continue for however long it takes.

21/07/2024

Jellybean is showing Louis how to eat his greens! Jellybean now looks so big next to Louis 💕

19/07/2024

Our grand finale for our school holiday programmes was the arrival of Nalas babies Truffle, Spidey, Louis and an added surprise Guinness found later in the day hidden amongst the hay. We now have two chickens showing off their egg laying prowess in the art room feeling comfortable as we created around them.
Smores on the firepit, horse riding and so much more enjoyed today too. Huge thanks to all who joined our school holiday programmes and to those who follow us and leave fun comments along the way. You all rock. Back to term activities as of Monday, remember to book in some term time fun or your birthday parties. Thanks again.

18/07/2024

We started our day feeding the chooks, one came and laid us another egg in the art room!
We tied ribbons and butterflies to tree branches and then hung them in the fairy garden too. Marshmallows over the firepit, then horse riding for the afternoon.

17/07/2024

More vege kebabs for the bunnies and guineapigs, Rock bunny jumped into the basket for his treats, Harry Potter bunny loved the toy that the kids made at the woodwork table today too. Toasting marshmallows is always fun. We wrote letters to the fairies and left them in their garden letterbox. We then went on an adventure, finding alphabet clues around the farm, which we wrote down to try and decipher a code we think the fairies were trying to tell us. Any help greatly received. (See last photo to assist us 😉).

16/07/2024

We party prepped for Peter's (our coworkers) 16th birthday. We baked a cake, made a card and wrapped a prezzie. We fed the pets and waited for him to arrive at lunchtime so we could party together 🥳
We also built a hut under the table, rode horses, made drums from wood and created in the art room until the paint was used up! Happy birthday Peter.

15/07/2024

A busy day filled with outdoor activities that included, bunnies, guinea pigs, horses, games, hill climbing, creek play, dressups the list goes on! Check out our photos. So much fun and laughter.

12/07/2024

We started our day with a mini party, iced cupcakes, designed hats, made fairybread, and blew out candles all for fun. We fed the pets, played with Scoobie, climbed the hills, played in the creek and explored the electronics activity set. Plus so much more. Week one has gone by so fast, don't miss out on week 2 book now www.tricklecreek.co.nz

11/07/2024

A crafty day today making fairy bells for the fairy garden, and painting horse shoes, but the most giggles were while sliding down the steep bank on our butts 🤣🤣. Always fun caring for all the pets too.
Still some spaces available for next week, come join our fun www.tricklecreek.co.nz under school holiday programmes

10/07/2024

And some more photos from our play today. To our surprise we watched Luka the chook lay an egg in our art room. 🥰🤣😂

10/07/2024

We started our day with a poem by one of our attendees Annabelle Good (11) who read it out to her peers (and kindly shared below with her permission). Her poetry inspired our interest in origami and flax weaving play today. Enjoy.

Origami
Paper folds, elegant, sharp, patterned paper, vibrant shades dancing along the creases.
Mind empty, focused, blank.
The pinpoint of concentration,
Thoughts wander subconsciously, a constant review of recent memories, as slow as the sun rising, as fast as the breeze brushing.

Awesome huh
