CHILD CARE
The new family program will be centered around 4 key ownable themes that tie into our overall resort pillars – 1) Sustainability, 2) Gourmet, 3) Beaches ad 4) Culture. Within each theme there will be a variety of activities for kids to choose from depending on the day / time of the week.
Gourmet Explorers
Cookies & Cupcakes Decorating Class — Families can get a little messy while they make a
yummy masterpiece in Azul themes, such as shades of blue and sea life like seashells, crabs and turtles.
Nailed It! Family Baking Competition — Inspired by the Pinterest meme and hit Netflix show in which low-skilled bakers attempt to decorate amazing cakes, such as an Alice in
Wonderland cake or Galaxy cake.
Ice Cream Making — DIY ice cream is surprisingly easy to make. With milk, heavy cream,
sweetener, rock salt, a few containers and some elbow grease, families can have their own custom, all-natural ice cream in 15 minutes. There will be a menu of mix-ins such as vanilla, fresh mint, berries, mango, etc. There can also be a pastel-themed Ice Cream Photo Booth with props.
Cooking Class — Families are given ingredients to make no-heat-required dishes they can be proud of, such as Guacamole, Salsa, Build-a-Taco, Dagwood Sandwiches, etc.
Kids Specials — Introduce a new drink/treats/snacks for kids every season in a fun color, rainbow, or multicolor with themed drink names.
Make/Design Your Own Pizza — Turn “Pizza Dude!” into a “Top your own pizza” station (both savory & sweet options) for the brick oven pizza. Families can pick from an array of toppings, such as pepperoni, olives, BBQ chicken, potato chips, M&Ms or gummy bears.
Vamos Verde!
Green Thumbs – Kids get a quick tutorial on how to pot a plant at an on property herb garden. They can taste samples of what they’re planting and feel like they’re helping out.
Greenhouse Webcam – At the resort, kids will plant seedlings in small pots that they have decorated with painted handprints, which will help them spot their pot on the webcam. The plants are then taken to the greenhouse. After they return home, kids can watch the growth and activity in the greenhouse via webcam anytime they want. They will ask their parents to re-visit the Azul Beach Riviera Cancun website to see the webcam.
Touch Pool — Have a small aquarium for kids to learn and interact with local sea creatures, small crabs, starfish, etc.
Eco Scavenger Hunt – Kids are given a list (with pictures) of things to look for around the resort that are natural or eco-friendly. They could include reusable straws, solar energy panels, iguanas, birds, etc. The printed handout will feature #AzulBeachRivieraCancun to encourage social sharing.
Playa Maya Beach Camp
Group Sand Sculpture — Families help a professional sand sculptor make a huge work of art, such as a giant sea turtle, octopus or mermaid. Beach Bonfire Treats — Celebrate the sunset with s’mores, a clambake, hot dogs and sing-a-longs with an acoustic guitar player. Campfire Science! With expert supervision, kids can change the color of the fire. A fire flame is usually orange, yellow, red, or white in color, but when a chemical―generally metal salts―are added to the flame, their atomic emission spectra changes the frequencies of light radiation (visible light) and that change brings about colored flames, as we see them. Some of the ingredients that are the easiest (and cheapest) to come by are:
It’s important to do these only after all cooking has been done on the fire and when there is little wind so the smoke can rise up rather than into campers’ faces.
Make & Fly a Kite – Families work together to make a large kite then take it over to the beach to fly it
Palm Frond Origami – Families learn how to make a flower or three-dimensional star out of palm fronds.
Azulitos Playhouse
CarnIval in Cancún— Kids learn about Mexico and the West Indies’ CarnIval/Carnival traditions, then make masks and costumes and learn traditional dances.
Pirates of Cancún / Pirates of Negril — Kids will learn about the pirate history of the area and make pirate hats, swords and other crafts. Port Royal (near Kingston) was a haven for the wickedest, such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Anne Bonny.
Sing-along to Spanish / Reggae Songs – An acoustic guitarist leads the kids in a Spanish or bilingual sing-a-long in MX and medley of Bob Marley and other tunes in JAM. Paint Like Frida Kahlo – Kids are guided as they make self-portraits and craft frames that parents can take home and cherish.
Viva La Música / Island Riddim– Kids learn about and use folk instruments such as maracas, cabasas, tambourines, steel drum, rhumba box, rain sticks, damasas (spin drum), etc. They are guided to make an original song together.
