Circus Tots at Flying Fruit Fly Circus in Albury

Hunter has been doing Circus Tots over at the Flying Fruit Fly Circus over in Albury for the last four weeks. It’s a class for 2.5-3.5 year olds, and then there’s a class for the 3.5-4.5 year olds after that. We go every Thursday morning from 9.30am-10.30am, and it’s on Friday mornings too. 

Each week there’s different obstacle courses and circuits. The classes help your little ones develop their fine & gross motor skills, and they're also introduced to different ways they can move their body, such as rolling, balancing, jumping, and the the magic of circus. They get to learn in a fun and safe environment that encourages independence and self-confidence!

 

The instructors are super friendly, and really patient. It took Hunter a couple of weeks to realise that he couldn't just run off and do whatever activity he wanted, and that he had to stay with his little group until they were finished. He hasn’t done a class that’s structured before, but now he knows the routine, he’s happy to follow instructions and do each activity with his listening ears turned on!

Last week he had a go on the trapeze and the aerial silks, and the weeks before that, it was the balancing beam, and the trampoline. It's like soft play on a big scale in some parts, and it definitely tires him out ready for his nap.

You’re not able to take photos or videos during the class, but I managed to get the cute photo of him below before his last class. He loves going to circus so much, and it’s nice that there’s something on for his age group. It works out to be $25 per class, and it runs for a school term (9 weeks?) but it's really cool to see the kids improve each week, so I'd definitely recommend this class, or at least a similar type of class i.e. dancing, gymnastics etc.

If this sounds like something you're interested in, jump on to the Fruit Fly Circus’ website here for more info. There’s classes for all age groups too, so if your little one is a bit younger or older than Hunter, or you're a parent who's looking to start moving your body a little more, I’m sure you can find a class that suits your little one as well!

 Until next time!
