Toddler Review

After realising we were running low of fruit and vege one Sunday morning I thought I might take the kids out to a market rather than a usual supermarket shop. I thought we would give Carrara Markets a try.

I was very pleasantly surprised to rediscover all that was on offer at Carrara Markets. My toddlers were delighted to walk through and discover all there was to see and do. It was so full of colour and life and there was so much that caught there attention and simulated a lot of conversation between us.

If you have not visited Carrara Markets with your toddlers, give it a try this weekend.

We will definitely be back to try some of the many attraction.
