FATHERS DAY 2024

Thomas Mahon 24 Aug 2024

We’re celebrating Father’s Day at MoPA this week!

In the lead up to the big day (Sunday 1st September) we’ve setup the most gorgeous craft activity; all the materials and educator guidance you’ll need to make a special pennant flag for Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, your bestie, your favourite kinder teacher, or anyone else special in your life that you’d like to celebrate!

Everything you need to complete this activity is setup ready to go during each and every play session at MoPA; and everything is fully included with your ticket.

Happy Father’s Day, with love from the team at MoPA x

Today was one of the highlights in MoPA’s lil’ lifetime — with the team from @sunriseon7, including the hilarious @sammacinsta, joining us at MoPA to explore our new Museum in Nunawading!

To the production and studio teams from @channel7 - thank you. You were an absolute delight to host. The way you made all our staff and guests feel confident in themselves and valued as participants in your broadcast is a testament to your genuine kindness and expertise 😘 xx

BIG KNOWN FACT: The BIG blocks ROCK!

LITTLE KNOW FACT: MoPA is the exclusive distributor!

For years we witnessed how engaging these beautiful BIG blocks are. We gathered so much evidence in their outcomes, and developed so much belief in their impact, that we eventually decided to establish a manufacturing partnership that would enable us to place the blocks in ALL our Museums. But what we also learned was that all sorts of other schools, museums, galleries, ELCs (even wineries!) would love a set of BIG blocks of their own. So we started to provide BIG blocks to all of these wonderful organisations!

Fast forward to today = MoPA is now the exclusive distributor. We send BIG block sets all over APAC!! And nothing gives us more joy than receiving all the photos of all the creations children are dreaming up.

So... If you’d like a set of blue blocks for YOUR facility, please jump onto the website or give us a shout on 1800 00 66 72 to learn more. xx
