School Holidays at Sylvia Park

As the school holidays come to a close, so too does our time at Sylvia Park. We opened up our temporary store at one of Auckland’s biggest shopping centres on the first Saturday of the July school holidays and it’s certainly been an interesting two weeks.

One of the great things about Sylvia Park is that people come from all over the city to shop there so we’ve met a lot of people from all over the place! We’ve met a lot of people who hadn’t heard of Seedling before and were fascinated by the amazing kits. Many people have commented on what great gifts they’d make or how they’d love so many for themselves. There were also many people who had seen our kits before but had no idea the range was so big. A lot of them were very excited to see us.

Just as with the Seedling at Edukidz stores in Ponsonby and Botany, we offered activities as well. In week one we were doing ‘Paint your own t-shirt’. Kids loved having the freedom to use as many colours and brushes as they wanted and had an amazing variety of designs on show. There’s nothing quite like the artwork you’ll see when you let a child’s imagination run wild. We also had a few adults painting t-shirts – for themselves, for their kids, for their partners.

Week two came with the introduction of Tote Bags & Superhero Capes as well as T-shirts and they’ve been extremely popular. We’ve had a LOT of people doing the three activities this week as the awful Auckland weather pushed people indoors. Many little girls making personalized handbags, several different superheros, two little boys made tote bags for Grandma and a heap more t-shirts.



As we’re now at the end of the holidays, we’ll be leaving Sylvia Park on Sunday evening. We’ve enjoyed our time there and it was great to be out there meeting the people who the Seedling kits are made for.

Remember that Botany and Ponsonby are out there two for those of you in Auckland. They have the full range of Seedling products and offer a menu of activities 7 days a week.

Wherever you are, enjoy the weekend and the last couple of days of the school holidays!

Paint Your Own T-Shirt these school holidays

The school holidays are coming up in just a couple of weeks and with the weather so cold at the moment it’s the perfect time to be doing indoor activities. To start with, Seedling’s concept store at Edukidz in Ponsonby will be adding “Paint your own T-shirt” to its menu of activities in time for the July holidays as well as other activities such as “Paint a Mini Canvas” and “Create your own Stick Puppet”.

Seedling is also coming to Botany Town Centre. Just like the Ponsonby store, Edukidz at Botany will offer the full Seedling range along with a menu of activities in a cafe-style setting. The Botany store will also be introducing “Paint your own T-shirt” in time for the upcoming holidays.

But wait, there’s more! For the July School Holidays ONLY Seedling will be coming to Sylvia Park shopping centre. From Saturday the 4th until Sunday the 19th of July, a Seedling store will be open outside Ezibuy where we’ll be offering the full 2009 range of Seedling products as well as the chance to sit down and create a masterpiece to take home. In the first week kids can come in and paint their own t-shirt. In week two we’ll be offering a choice between “Design your own Tote Bag” and “Design your own Superhero Cape”.

Come in to any of our stores to sit down and create a masterpiece or find a kit to do at home. We look forward to seeing you in the July holidays!
