  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

Best Activities for Girls in Brisbane

Last Updated: March 3, 2023

Regardless of her age, there is a virtually unlimited selection of activities in Brisbane to keep your Brisbane girl entertained. Check out these fun activities that will encourage your daughter to stretch her boundaries and maybe even discover a new passion.

Engaging activities for girls from baby and toddler age and upwards

Even before your Brisbane girl can sit, you can help her participate in social activities.

Playgroups are a fantastic starting point that will not only enable her to meet new people to play with, but might just make you some new friends too.

Music classes will encourage self-expression and a love of music in girls, even from a very young age.

Gymnastics helps to develop co-ordination and body strength, vital for learning to walk and move independently. YMCA and the PCYC start gym classes from 18 months of age.

Sports classes are a wonderful way of encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle from a young age. Classes in sports such as soccer and football are inclusive of girls and boys and start from around 2 years of age.

Swimming classes skills are so important, especially when living in Queensland. Learn to swim classes commence from as early as 2 months of age with a parent or guardian. Once your girl reaches about 3, she will be able to take classes without your assistance.

Play centres are an awesome way to let your Brisbane girl play in a safe environment and are ideal for hot, cold or rainy days. Most play centres have separate areas for younger children and a range of exciting equipment for the bigger kids. 

Creative classes are all about making mess, having lots of fun and developing skills in fine motor through to colour recognition and early literacy.

Language classes from 18 months of age teach not only languages other than English, but further communication skills through the use of song and play.

Fun pursuits for girls from preschool age and upwards

Dance & Drama classes will promote your Brisbane girlโ€™s confidence, self-esteem and co-ordination. These activities provide an amazing opportunity for your girl to meet new people with common interests and to encourage friendships outside of her school group.

Self Defence and Martial Arts classes will also boost your daughterโ€™s confidence. Many classes cover aspects of dealing with bullies and personal security, so they are perfect for teaching your Brisbane girl to be strong and stand up for herself in an appropriate manner.

Cooking classes will bring out the junior masterchef in your little girl and can start from 2 years of age. Cooking can provide a great bonding experience with other family members and friends.

Cool interests for girls from school age and upwards

Basketball and Netball are inclusive and social sports that are wonderful to participate in. Possessing skills in these sports can be fantastic for social and competitive games well into adulthood.

Girl Guides and Girls Brigade encourage self-respect and leadership skills and will educate your Brisbane girl with a flexible and dynamic values-based life training program.

Horse riding options, be it on a casual or a weekly basis, are scattered throughout Brisbane. Pony clubs not only hone skills in horse riding, but teach your Brisbane girl understanding and responsibility.
