The pizza making went so well - the kids loved it and got fully stuck in! It was very interactive - the colouring pens helped keep them busy while waiting for the pizzas to cook. The parents got to also connect nicely so I think it was successful all round.

Action plan:

Timeline: 

Event planned for 15 October so that the winter rain will hopefully be over. This will allow for an indoor/outdoor event.

4 September: Aim to launch the event and open it to sign-ups. Given that the target audience is families with children, more lead time is preferable.

18 Sep: Hopefully have final participant list. Order bowls and non perishables.

13 Oct: Order perishables.

15 Oct: Event.

Budget:

Pizza ingredients: R1000

Colourful bowls: R200

Drinks etc. 200



Impact:

The aims of the event are:

-to have 5 families with toddlers join.

- to provide an event which allows parents to connect with their children over food, while also providing the toddlers with an age appropriate activity that allows a tactile play experience, has elements of colour learning and is sensory (touch, smell, taste etc.)

- to have the parents connect with one another and hopefully build friendships which can continue after the event.



Location:

Residence of the host. The pizza-making will happen indoors and then the toddlers will also have access to the garden for some physical play time during the event.
