CULTURE CHILDREN maltatoday | SUNDAY • 13 OCTOBER 2019 8 IN a first for Malta and for a limited time only, Little Peeps Pop Up Town will soon cre- ate a little world to ignite local children's big imaginations. Designed around chil- dren's universal love of role- play, Little Peeps Pop Up Town is a realistic minia- ture town that aims to help children learn through play and explore life in the world around them. "The concept of mini- towns for children's play is hugely popular abroad, but has never been done before in Malta," explains Little Peeps Pop Up Town creator Chiara George. "For 12 days only, children in Malta will soon be able to experience the fun, adventure and ex- citement of make-believe in this colourful town that's all theirs to safely explore and enjoy." The Little Peeps Pop Up Town will feature play booths designed to resemble the full-size versions used by adults every day, such as a supermarket, a medical cen- tre, a police station, a café and diner, a theatre, a con- struction site, a picnic area and a ring road. Also included will be a Lit- tle Learners room to grow little ones' imaginations even further, with high- quality educational and mul- ti-sensory toys. The recommended age for children experiencing Lit- tle Peeps Pop Up Town is 18 months to seven years, however, younger children may also make use of an ad- ditional small soft play area. Each child attending the Pop Up Town must be accompa- nied by an adult, who will be able to relax and grab a bite to eat in the small café set up next to the town, while the kids are playing. Children and their parents can enjoy the fun at Little Peeps Pop Up Town for 12 days only, from 22 October to 3 November 2019, in the Parish Hall at Kristu Rxoxt Church, Pembroke. Each day will include five 90-minute pre-booked play sessions, from 9am to 10.30am, 11am to 12.30am, 1pm to 2.30pm, 3pm to 4.30pm and 5pm to 6.30pm.
