Dubai, June 24 2007: Favourite Things Mother & Child in Jumeirah, Dubai's premiere children's edutainment destination, will be hosting super fun Summer Camps to entertain, educate and engage children over the warmer months, for select dates between July 1 and August 30.

Favourite Things is delighted to offer a range of exciting activities during the camps in the state of the art 7000 sqft play area, which includes climbing walls, an animal themed jungle gym, a fancy dress room filled with over 70 costumes and props, a soft baby & toddlers area, a fun filled art room, an interactive water play area, a sand play area where kids can dig for buried treasure, and a construction table for those future architects and engineers!

The Summer Camp which will be held daily from 10am - 2pm for children aged 2-3 and 4-7 years old will host fitness for kids, magic shows, puppet shows, drama plays, crazy science and arts and crafts just to name a few.

"This summer at Favourite Things we're offering children a far more personal camp than most, in a clean, safe, fun and educational venue to escape the Summer heat," said Farah Nabulsi, co-founder of Favourite Things Mother & Child.

"The great convenience of our edutainment centre is that the kids can enjoy fun activities, while parents can meet friends in our café and shop in our boutique with the assurance their children are being monitored by professionally trained staff, or they can take off for a bit and enjoy some time out!," added Sandra Madi, co-founder of Favourite Things Mother & Child.

Budding young artists will have the opportunity to express themselves in the daily arts and crafts workshops. Younger children can try their hand at playing dough creations and capture the summer spirit by enjoying other fun filled activities including face painting, body arts, story times and sing-alongs.

Children will also be entertained with puppet shows, fun performances and magic shows with balloon bending clowns, along with interactive dramatic plays and dress ups in the fancy dress room - where they can turn themselves into a Knight in Shining Armor, an Astronaut, a Fairy Princess or even a Dragon!

Favourite Things Mother & Child fulfills every parent's needs who are concerned about their children's development and education, and the use of disposable leisure time for fun mixed with enrichment.

The Favourite Things Boutique boasts international celebrity brands including Liz Lange, Habitual Jeans, Orla Kiely and Cadeau. The boutique also sells the latest and hippest baby and child products; from the Mozzee Highchair, to gorgeous Dwell Baby blankets, and Storksak diaper bags, while carefully selected gift items and novelties make up the loveliest baby shower gifts for that special friend.

Limited spaces are available for the Summer Camps and lunch is included, prices are 410 Dhs (for 5 days) or 100 Dhs/day (non-refundable advance payment required). Children aged 2-3 years must be accompanied by an adult.
