2. The Doodle Wall of Joy: A Special IBU x CzipLee Collaboration

Step into creativity with the Doodle Wall of Joy, a heartwarming collaboration between IBU Family and CzipLee. Grab a marker, doodle with your little ones, and add your family’s touch to our customised Doodle Wall.

Whether you choose to doodle a little picture of your family, write down your family motto or favourite affirmations, or add beautiful colour to the elements, every doodle adds to a collective masterpiece that celebrates love, laughter, and imagination.

This is a reflection of IBU’s belief that every family adds its own colour to our village.

Since its beginnings, IBU Family has been more than just a parenting organisation. It’s a village - built by parents, for parents - where families support each other through every stage of raising children.

The IBU Family Bazaar is a reflection of that spirit: a weekend where connections are made, laughter is shared, and families walk away feeling a little lighter, happier, and more inspired.

“When you bring families together, magic happens,” says Christine, IBU’s Executive Director and mum of three. “The laughter, the learning, the love... that’s what makes our community truly special.”
