Kids Alive launch multi-sensory water safety program

Kids Alive has partnered with Messy Bubs to create a multi-sensory play program based on our water safety education resources.

Kids Alive Managing Director Emma Lawrence urged educators and parents of under 5s to get behind the free training program, which provides simple lesson plans for fun activities that help bring water safety messages to life.

“With spring here and summer just around the corner, now is the time to get kids back into swimming lessons and this multi-sensory learning experience is ideal to reinforce what children are learning at swimming lessons,” she said. “Through the partnership with sensory play specialists, Messy Bubs, we have created a suite of fun activities that can be used by parents and educators such as playgroups, day care centres and libraries to open up discussion about water safety in various water environments.”

Natalie Hinchliffe, Director and Founder of Messy Bubs, said each activity was based on the home, the pool, the beach or the farm and gave educators and parents an opportunity to introduce water safety messages in a super fun environment. Educators and parents can access the training HERE.
