Learning and playing with Nick Jr.
Manila, Philippines - Little Nickelodeon fans kicked off the new school year on a high note with Nick Jr. Play Date held recently at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. Thousands of kids came to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon of learning and playing in the colorful world of their favorite Nick Jr. characters.
“Nick Jr. Play Date is a big get-together for our young fans and their families to party with their favorite Nick Jr. characters,” says Carla de Castro, Philippine marketing and communications manager for Nickelodeon Asia. “Learning becomes more fun when you do it together with your favorite friends.”
The kids had the time of their lives playing exciting and educational games with Dora, Diego, Kai-Lan, and other favorite Nick Jr. pals. They bounced and jumped at the Bouncy Play Pen, worked on their colorful masterpieces at the I Love Art booth, sorted shapes at the Diego’s Shape Sorter, matched colors at the Bubble Guppies Bubble Matcher, tried their luck at parking with Team Umizoom’s Park Me, worked on their aim at the Kai-Lan Ring Toss, and built a tower at Dora’s Number Tower. The tiny tots also got front-row seats to a special screening of Bubble Guppies’ Super Shrimptennial Celebration episode.
Exciting performances from the Symmetry Dance Group got the kids and their parents on their feet, while wonder dog Bantatay wowed the crowd with his various tricks. To make the afternoon even more special, Kai-Lan, Diego, and Dora ended the day with an energetic dance number, with a surprise guest —everyone’s favorite underwater friend, SpongeBob SquarePants. Guests snacked on free yummy delights and took home cool freebies and prizes from Nickelodeon and event sponsors.
Nick Jr. Play Date was presented by Progress Pre-school Gold and Toy Kingdom, with Cherifer Syrup, Del Monte Cheese Magic, Hapee Kiddie Toothpaste, Ocean Adventure, and Zesto as co-sponsors, and SM Mall of Asia as the official venue.
