There’s something special about children’s parties. From having a safe space to play and explore to educational exhibits. Attending a children’s party is a treasured pastime for many.
This year, children have been invited to make friends, eat, and play as they dance to the musical performances from different artists at the Toto Christmas festival under the theme ‘Inspiring Young Minds.’
The festival in its seventh edition organised by Vision Group is to take place at Sheraton Gardens on December 10 from 8 am at a fee of sh10,000 only.
Children need to get ready to get into the groove for a day packed with a full range of activities that have something for everyone to enjoy, whether you're 1 year old or 60 years old.
Meanwhile, lots of activities have lined up musical performances from celebrated artists, Father Christmas, bouncing castles, face painting, board games, and swimming, among others.
Other activities include talent search, and mentorship talks and children are to walk away prizes including cash and other goodies.
On Monday, a team from Vision Group started visiting schools where they found children gearing up for the end-of-year party.
The team was started at St. Benedict Nursery and Primary School Nansana Kabulengwa, where they were warmly welcomed by the pupils and teachers.
There, pupils shared their favorite sections of the magazine and were given flyers to take home to their parents to ask them to take them to the festival.
Also, the school choir was found practicing live bands so that they could deliver a lifetime performance at the festival.
From there, the team that was in the company of Indomie Noodles, one of the sponsors of the event went to Amazing Grace School Nansana and later Viviz Mukubira Junior School Kyebando.
At the two schools, the team interacted with pupils who were also eagerly waiting for the festival. These answered questions about the Toto magazine and Indomie Noodles and won gifts like Festival pins, and noodles among others.
Why children should not miss
Benedict Kiwanuka Ngaanda the team leader at St Benedict Nursery and Primary School Nansana explained that the festival is a good place to have children relax their minds after a long term of class work at school.
“When children go out, they broaden their minds and get a chance to learn new things including skills from exhibitors,” he added.
Salome Atwiine an administrator at Amazing Grace Schools Nansana the festival is a great opportunity for children to get exposure adding that many do not get a chance to move out of their communities.
She said at the festival children can get friends of substance that they can learn from and may seek help from as they grow up in life.
Grace Nampiima the Toto Magazine senior producer explained that the festival is going to be a blast with a lot of learning and fun.
She said, “Look out for the Toto Magazine team that will come to your school to invite you specially as they give you goodies as well.”
Evelyn Nankya of Indomie Noodles said children are their biggest consumers, a reason why they decided to join them as they celebrate their end-of-year Christmas festival.
“At the festival, we will be ready to serve children and their parents noodles with parks to give them to take home. We will also have lots of other goodies to walk away with,” Nankya said.
