Gymboree members enjoyed dressing their children in costumes and participating in October’s Halloween parties held at both locations (Hiroo and Jiyugaoka). The agenda included a haunted house, Halloween crafts, play activities including parachute and bubbles, face painting, and trick-or-treating as well as time for refreshments.
For many of the younger participants, this was their first Halloween experience and first time to wear a costume — there were many mums and dads taking photos and videos. The older children particularly enjoyed the Halloween crafts and the trick-or-treating at the end of the party. The crafts and memories created at the parties will remain with the participating families for many years to come.
Gymboree Play & Music is the global leader in classes for children 0–5 years old. Free trials are offered daily at both locations. For more information about Gymboree’s unique, age-appropriate programming, see http://www.gymboree.jp. — NICOLE YAMADA
