Welcome

www.happykiddies.co.nz, celebrating over 80 years of happy kiddies!

Happykiddies.co.nz is dedicated to celebrating laughter and happiness, and we invite you to spread the laughter by uploading your favourite happy kiddy moment! You can share the laughs by forwarding your clip on to friends and family, or simply have a laugh by viewing all the happy kiddies already uploaded.

Auckland University’s humour expert Dr Barbara Plester, says laughter provides a number of benefits. “One of the functions of laughter is to create harmony and cohesion and sharing laughter is a wonderful bonding experience for mums and children.”

So join in the fun New Zealand! We want to share the chortles, cackles, guffaws and giggles and spread the happiness.

5 Tips for Keeping Kiddies Happy

1. Make a splash. Playing with water in the bath or garden is exciting and fun.
2. Blow a raspberry. Try their hands, tummy or cheek and watch them giggle in pleasure.
3. Sing a long. Have a singsong to any music you can – your child will love it!
4. Peek-a-boo. This old classic is fun for you and your little kiddie, plus any older siblings can get involved too!
5. Get decorating. A home-made mobile is a great way to entertain your little one with colour and shapes.
