Multiples gear for fun

Twins and triplets are getting ready for another year of fun with South Kildare Multiples Group starting up again after the summer holidays.
 


The group had a fantastic first year with eight sets of twins and one set of triplets attending regularly -- 19 children when they all came to the same session! Families come from all over South Kildare and as far away as Kilcock.
 
The informal parent and baby/toddler group enjoys craft time, play in a safe environment and action songs, with a chance for parents to have a coffee and chat while the children play.
 
At their recent summer party, pictured above, the group said goodbye to its first 'graduates' who are moving on, and would be delighted to welcome new families this September. Mums expecting multiples are also welcome.
 
The group starts back on Monday, September 5, and meets every other Monday from 10.30am to midday at Naas Sports Centre, Caragh Road. There is double-buggy access and plenty of parking.
 
Backed by IMBA – the Irish Multiple Births Association (www.imba.ie) - South Kildare Multiples Group is also looking for funding and sponsorship.
 
If you can help or would like more information, call 085 7387726.
