Here’s a playground for the northeastern peeps. Set up by five mums with 11 toddlers between them – so you can be sure they’ve got plenty of experience to draw from – Hokey Pokey (from $16) is a cosy play haven for kids six months to six years old.
Besides age-appropriate loose toys such as ride-on vehicles, musical instruments, train tables and dollhouses, there’s a fully equipped ‘kitchen’ where budding foodies can flex their MasterChef skills as well as a huge ball pit, complete with slides, to tumble around in. There’s also a separate infant area that’s fully padded – no need to worry about falls – to let the children boogie.
Got a birthday bash to plan? Parties at Hokey Pokey are sweet affairs: it involves a beautiful fondant cake alongside desserts like cupcakes, brownies and other treacly treats.
