There's a whole world beyond those four walls and we are here to take you there, currently every Monday morning at 11am via zoom! These have been running very successfully for the past two weeks. We are now planning further sessions on other days of the week. Please email [email protected] and let us know what day and time would suit you best and we will accommodate! Only £5 per family during the lockdown which is an absolute bargain for 40 minutes of thrilling physical exercise, singing to clear the sinuses/ exercise the lungs, social exercise, fostering of the imagination and interactive learning in buckets- full! Last week we went on safari in Africa, today we stomped with the dinosaurs. Join us next week (on a day of your choice) for a trip through the British Countryside. Please share with anyone you think might be interested. Www.tickledskink.co.uk

Just a reminder that we are doing a live session every Monday at 11am via Zoom. It will be African Safari this coming Monday (20th April). Please email [email protected] to book a place and for payment details. The sessions will be just £5 per family.. Really great value if you have more than one child! Sorry that we have to charge. Obviously with things the way they are, Tickled Skink has no income coming in atall from the parties, nurseries and school visits that it usually does. We cannot keep going without charging for these sessions. But we have tried to keep the cost as low as possible. These sessions are such fun for the children and highly educational. They can be of great value for the home schooling curriculum whilst giving you parents a break from doing it all yourself! Please support us if you can whilst we support you. Stay safe and stay well. Lots of love.
