For me, Pyjama Drama involves wearing lots of hats. Let me tell why...

Once upon a working day, Lucy woke up and started replying to emails from potential customers (sparkly admin and communication hat). She then remembered she had to pay for a class venue (pointy financial hat) before meeting up with a local magazine publisher (floppy marketing hat). Later on that day, Lucy got to deliver a fantastic Pyjama Drama class for older toddlers (woolly performance hat). As you can imagine, the hats are all very cosy and nice to wear (and you can’t be afraid to have bad hat hair by the end of a day). Pyjama Drama also involves juggling. You need to master juggling everyday items with the future items. They tend to move at an incredible pace but before you know it, you’ve been juggling for FOUR MONTHS (how time flies) and still have a smile on your face!

A mum recently told me that she spent months agonising whether to enroll her three year old in a Pyjama Drama class. Her best friend took her child and loved it, her daughter didn't go to preschool on the morning of the class and she was already looking for an activity for them to do together. So why the procrastination? ''I still have nightmares about my drama classes at school, ' the mum explained. ''I hated them. I was so shy and one day the teacher forced me to stand up in front of everyone and I couldn't stop shaking.

We all know the age-old saying that children would rather play with the cardboard box than the actual gift inside and many of us have probably experienced it too. That cardboard box could be the fastest car in the universe or the entrance to a secret underground cave and that sparkly dress in the box? Never as sparkly as the one in your imagination.
