Functions of Fun are a registered COVID Safe Business

It’s been a rollercoaster of a year so far due to COVID19. We are excited though to be able to have fun and entertain again at your parties or corporate events, even if there may be some restrictions and changes for now.

As your health and the health of our staff members is very important to us, especially during these times, we have made some changes to our practices due to COVID19. These include:

  • Allowing extra time between each child to sanitise or replace equipment
  • The wearing of masks by our staff during face painting
  • Social distancing during party games and entertaining
  • Extra sanitisation of all equipment such as jumping castles, tables etc
  • Ensuring that all bookings adhere to the current NSW Government Guidelines for numbers for private parties and corporate events.

If you have any concerns or would like to discuss further, please don’t hesitate to contact Daniela on 0417 331 889.

We look forward to entertaining you soon!

 

STAYING IN THIS FATHERS DAY? HERE ARE SOME GREAT IDEAS FOR HOME FUN!

Need some great ideas for this Fathers Day? 2020, as you know, is a bit different from previous years and you may be more inclined to stay home this Fathers Day instead of being out and about. So here are some fab ideas to spoil your dad at home!

Homemade Breakfast in Bed

Spoil your Dad by making him a breakfast to remember! A full English breakfast (bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, tomato and hash browns) served with his favourite coffee will start his day right!

Fathers Day Cake

Make his day extra special with a homemade cake in the shape of the word Dad! Check out the recipe for this fabulous cake here

 

Family Games at Home

Who doesn’t love a Treasure Hunt? Make a map and send your Dad looking for treasures around the home or in the backyard. Treasures are only limited by your imagination! They could be small gifts, chocolates or coupons which can be redeemed at a later date! Some ideas for your coupons could be ‘1 free car wash’ or ‘Free hugs from me’.

 

Board Game Fun

Spend the time with Dad playing your favourite board games. Go old school with games like Monopoly or Game of Life!

 

Movie Day

Spend your day in PJs eating popcorn and watching movies together. A perfect Sunday!

 

Even though this year may look different then past years, there are still many ways to spoil your Dad!

Wishing all the wonderful Dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day! Hope your day is filled with fun, laughter and love!

SANTA’S HERE!

One of the most magical parts of Christmas is Santa Claus. And what better way to celebrate his arrival then Breakfast with Santa and a Christmas Parade!

We loved celebrating the arrival of Santa Claus this year at Warriewood Square!

A special breakfast was held in the Christmas themed breakfast nook, with holiday favourites sung and a Christmas show welcoming the arrival of our favourite man in red….. Santa!

Reindeer and Christmas themed face painting, balloon twisting designs to please everyone and fun activities also added to the atmosphere and created an unforgettable breakfast with Santa.

With Santa leading the way, the parade set off! Our twirling dancers, fun Christmas Characters and excited children followed, the parade weaving through the centre towards Santa’s chair, where children could sit and talk to Santa or have their photo taken, a lovely end to a magical and memorable Christmas event.

As one guest commented – the day was ‘A beautiful memory for our family’.

GREAT CRAFT IDEAS FOR FATHERS DAY!

Father’s Day is fast approaching and nothing says ‘I love you Dad’ more than a homemade gift! Here are some easy craft suggestions which you should be able to pull together with what you already have at home.

 

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE CARD
With just some spiral pasta, card and paint, this card from the Crafty Morning website is super easy to create and will definitely bring some sunshine and a smile into dad’s day!

 

DAD’S SECRET STACHE!
Any little bakers at your place? They say a way to daddy’s heart is through his stomach so why not get on those aprons and bake him a gift he won’t forget – Dad’s Secret Stache! (bonus points for a well used pun too!) Or if you or your kids aren’t bakers, why not buy his favourite biscuits and put together in a jar (Tim Tams anyone?). For tutorial on this cute idea check out the Hello Little Home website

 

FUN BOOKMARKS DAD WILL LOVE
Is Dad a reader? If so, how cute are these bookmarks we found on Red Fly Creations? Sure to bring a smile to his face everytime he starts to read! And easy to make too. Oh, and don’t forget the sillier the pose the better! 😉

 

A GIFT FOR THE SUPERHERO IN YOUR LIFE
A superhero needs fuel right? And what better fuel than a chocolate bar! These are such easy gifts to make for your superhero dad. Check out the tutorial on I Heart Craft Things.

 

MY DAD ROCKS!
Years go by so fast and before you know it the kids will be all grown up and off on their own. Photos as gifts are always a go-to for us as nothing is better than captured special moments. That’s why we love this photo frame! Choose any colour photo frame, grab some glue and rocks, put it all together and you have the perfect frame for your memories with Dad.

 

Hope you all have a wonderful Fathers Day celebrating all things Dad!
