This Children’s Day, Me2 Centre of Inclusive Arts had the joy of bringing our Celebrate with Me2 programme to the Down Syndrome Association (DSA), treating the children to a lively, imagination-filled morning inspired by our Under the Sea theme.
The celebration opened with upbeat music and an energetic welcome by our Marine Explorer and Ocean Conservationist characters, immediately drawing the children into a playful underwater world.
A crowd favourite was the storytelling segment featuring I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean! The children transformed into sea creatures with simple prompts, floating like jellyfish, scuttling like crabs, and swishing like seaweed, strengthening their confidence, imagination, and expressive movement.
Next came squid headgear crafting, where each child created a colourful squid hat using pre-cut tentacles and googly eyes. With support from our facilitators, every child proudly wore their handmade masterpiece and came together for an adorable final dance, performing ocean-inspired actions and ending with a big “splash pose” that lit up the room.
This celebration was more than just a themed event. It was a space for children to express themselves freely, build confidence, and enjoy movement and creativity tailored to their abilities.
We are grateful to DSA for welcoming us so warmly and for allowing Me2 to be part of their meaningful Children’s Day celebration.
