Wonderland at our children’s hospital

The Children’s Hospital Foundation recently turned Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital into a WONDERLAND, as we brought the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to sick kids.

Entertainment included Ikin Dance, Drace Illusionist, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum acrobats, Renata as well as a very special Alice in Wonderland Show and visits from Queensland Police Service and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.

Our sick kids also enjoyed face painting, clock making, Sand Wizard, giant games, croquet, glitter tattoos, pot painting, arts and crafts and origami workshops, and special photos from our friends at The Photo Booth Collective. The wonderland theming of this event, enjoyed by sick kids, families, staff and volunteers was made possible by The Prop House and Groundability.

A big part of what the Children’s Hospital Foundation does is provides a world-class entertainment program that aids healing and makes traumatic and sometimes long-term stays in hospital more bearable for sick kids and their families. The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party was a welcome distraction for patients at our children’s hospital, and was a fun way to bring just the right amount of wonderland madness and laughter to children.
