We start Tumble Tots next week (the walking-2 yrs class).
Have any of you been before? What exactly does it involve? I've got the gist from the website, but MIL (who used to be a Tumble Tots instructor) said "Oh good, Lucy will learn loads of new songs!" which threw me a bit. Singing?!

My brothers went to Tumble tots and they did some of the activitys to music and had a little song at the end, maybe they'll be doing that.
Adam starts mini gym this week hopefully :)

I hope he has fun :) My nephew (who's also 3 and starts nursery this month!) is enrolled in gym classes as well now ;) apparently he thinks he'll learn how to balance on a ball and juggle!!

Unfortunately, yes, there will be singing. Sitting around in a circle, singing, and doing all the joyful actions.

It mainly includes child running around and climbing and playing with the ton of nifty toys. But yes, there will still be singing.

Noooooo - they'll soon regret that when they hear my voice!! :|

It was horrible. I only went once [although I was 9 months pregnant when I went]. I hate the whole happy clappy sitting around in a circle singing irritating songs crap. You're meant to know all the actions too, and you just sit there looking stupid, with a kid that is trying to get up and go back to playing with the cool toys..

Are they at least songs I might have heard of, or do they make them up? :/
Oh well, we're starting at the beginning of a new Tumble Tots year so hopefully there will be other newbies there with me!

we go to 'sensory play' and 'book bounce and rhyme' where they do singing in a circle, i hated the thouight of it the first time and didnt sing, just mouthed the words, but then realised everyone was as bad as me anyway so i enjoyed myself more when i joined in! and at book bounce they give you booklets with the words on so thats ok!
