Easter at Lollipops Newton Road
28 March 2018
Lollipops Newton is very proud to share its beautiful relationship with the community around us. Today we baked muffins and included these along with some Easter eggs in bags as an 'Easter Goody Bag".
We all went out on a mini excursion to the local businesses in our community handing out the bags we made with love. Encouraging this lovely act of kindness among our children makes us so happy and proud. We had a lot of fun chatting with different people, and it was beautiful to see the smiles from everyone we visited when we delivered our Easter treats to them. Our local superette gave us chocolate eggs in return to enjoy!
The whole experience encouraged our children to understand the joy of giving, as well as the importance of giving back, and to acknowledge the wonderful community we have around us. We look forward to having more adventures during the rest of the year.
