Thing of the Week - GiggleBox

As part of the launch of 50 Things in Southwark, we are focusing on 1 of the 50 activities in this amazing app. Next is ‘GiggleBox’.

Be prepared to be silly, let go of your inhibitions and enjoy the silliness with GiggleBox! From laughing at the simplest noises to giggling at a nonsense rhyme and tickles, or roaring with laughter while splashing water, you and your child can be the funniest pair in the world.

Babies love gentle surprise and toddlers love anticipation as well as a hilarious game of chase and tickle. With a greater understanding of language, pre-school children enjoy humour in words. They will enjoy simple jokes and puns (including making up their own). By having fun and enjoying time with your child, you are supporting their developing sense of playfulness and fun.

For more information on this activity including how to do it, the benefits, top tips and resources, download the free 50 Things app from Google Play or the Apple Store.
