Best. Present. Ever!

Give the gift of play

MoPA Gift Cards can be used to purchase tickets, memberships, parties, coffees, food and more. They don’t expire for 3-years and can be used across any number of separate purchases.

Each of our locations has a separate Gift Card checkout, however please rest assured that all gift cards can be used across all our locations. The only difference between purchasing your gift card from one location versus another is that your gift-card will work through the online checkout for the location it’s purchased from, but manually (via a quick phone call or email) from any alternative MoPA location.

Today we’re launching our new theme “Happy Hearts, Happy Places” (Showing Sep 2 until Oct 12) and this gorgeous new ART HOUSE activity is a part of this theme.

But why “Happy Hearts, Happy Places”? Because developing an understanding of COMMUNITY is one of THE most important early learnings. It helps children feel connected and valued. It helps them form a sense of identity and appreciate others’ perspectives. And, in effect, it empowers children to grow into compassionate, engaged adults who care for one another and the world around us.

The ART HOUSE activity featured in this post is a key part of this new exhibition. Children can make a home, school, coffee shop, library, or any other building or feature of their community that feels important to them.

Seeing this paper bag community come to life is going to be very special…

It’s Officially (almost) Book Week (well… it starts tomorrow) @ MoPA 📖 💕☀️

From SAT 17th AUG, for ONE week only, we’re celebrating Book Week with a gorgeous activation our Educators are calling “TINY PAGES”. Children (and their carers!) are invited to write and illustrate a book of tiny pages, full of self-affirmations, things that inspire us, and the cutest reflections of self.

This activity is curated to support self-identity, positive interdependence and mental wellbeing - important skills for our lil’ ones to develop in their early years.

People often ask… “How do you choose the colour each day?” The truth is that MoPA’s Art Car has taught us some valuable real-life lessons about colour theory 😵‍💫🏳️‍🌈🎨🖌️

TOP THREE LESSONS:
3 colours at once = Brown. ALWAYS brown!?
1-2 colours on a dry base = Fun; but mix cautiously.
Any colour on a wet base = So. MUCH. Brown.
