Tommy’s and Peppa Pig team up with babyballet to fundraise with the grooviest gift-for-good

Tommy’s, the UK’s largest pregnancy charity, has teamed up with Peppa Pig and dance experts babyballet® to create the grooviest gift-for-good.

If you’re looking for a unique present or activity for children, which keeps them active and entertained while supporting a good cause, look no further than Dance with Peppa.

Order online, and Mummy and Daddy Pig will send a gift pack through the post to a little one, inviting them to Dance with Peppa. They’ll receive a personalised invitation, wall chart, stickers, and certificate, and through an online link will be able to access dance classes with Flutterstar the babyballet® Fairy who will show little ones and Peppa Pig how to groove.

They’ll jump in ‘muddy puddles’ from home, learn great posture and have lots of fun, marking off their progress on the wall chart as they go. Dance classes can be streamed on mobile, computer, or cast to a TV.

While there’s no age limit to being a Peppa fan – and parents are highly encouraged to join in – Dance with Peppa classes are most suitable for children aged six months to six years and can be adapted and enjoyed by little ones with different movement abilities or attention spans.

All proceeds from the £14.99 Dance with Peppa gift package will support Tommy’s. Take a sneak peek below:

Entertainment One (eOne), the parent company of Peppa Pig, has been partnering with Tommy’s since 2005.This initiative is the latest step in Tommy’s partnership with the world’s most-loved pig.

Peppa has helped raise more than £3 million so far to support Tommy’s work to find causes and treatments which save babies’ lives and helped to provide hundreds and thousands of parents with trusted pregnancy information and baby loss support.

One of Peppa’s fundamental brand aims is to help children learn through exploration and physical movement. Both Tommy’s and Peppa Pig share the goal of providing children with the best possible start in life.

Lucia Magadan, Marketing Director, Peppa Pig eOne, said: “Dance with Peppa is a great way to give little dancers fun and engaging dance lessons from the comfort of their own homes. It is a unique opportunity to develop confidence and skills thanks to expert tuition with babyballet®, and to enjoy it all with their favourite friend Peppa Pig! It is fantastic that such a fun gift for kids can also raise vital funds to support Tommy’s important work.”

Matt Jerwood, head of digital engagement at Tommy’s, said: “We are excited to team up with Peppa Pig to create something fun and educational for kids. This is such an important new fundraising product to support our work and help to save babies’ lives. Thanks to the combination of dance expertise from babyballet® and the incredible popularity and love of Peppa Pig we’ve been able to create something together for thousands of children to enjoy.”

The dance brand are also proud supporters of Tommy’s having led ‘Danceathon’ events that have fundraised almost a further £1 million for the charity.

babyballet® founder Claire O’Connor said: “We are dancing with delight to partner once again with our friends at Peppa Pig eOne and Tommys on this exciting new project. Our Fairy, ‘Flutterstar’, had so much fun teaching Peppa to dance to a magical mix of babyballet® favourite songs and we can’t wait to see all the children in the UK joining in and learning how to dance too. What a sparkling way to fund vital research, support parents and help save babies lives through this incredible charity.”

babyballet® will launch their third Tommy’s Danceathon in October of this year.

Paul, a parent from London, said: “We were quickly on to our third and fourth watch, loved shouting her name and joining in, and the stickers went down really well too!”
