Doha Mum’s
When: Oct 13, 27
Can’t wait for the day? Take your tots to the Doha Mums annual Halloween Party on Oct 13! There are great prizes for costumes for both parents and kids, games and activities. Venue TBD. It’s members only, so it’s a good time to join up! And if your little ones require a sugar jolt before Halloween, why not join the cookie decorating classes at the Movenpick Hotel? Kids make Halloween themed cookies and then eat their creations. October 27, at either 10.30am-12.30pm or 2pm-3pm. RSVP for both is essential.
