Ireland's No. 1 FREE magazines for parents & teachers of primary school children
Often the highlight of a child’s the birthday party will etch an enormous mark on the family calendar. Filled with wonderment and wishes, this magical moment is dreamt about long before it arrives – for a child that is! For a parent, it may be a different story all together. For the grown-ups, the magic may be replaced with an overactive mind buzzing with checklists: there may be worry about the additional responsibility, plus of course there are the presents top buy, the entertainers to sort… but it’s worth the effort as all they want is for their child to have a happy memorable day. Here are some ideas to inspire this year- and please mention ‘Primary Times” when making an enquiry or booking…
