I need a catchy name for my French toddler group! Any ideas welcome! (as long as politically correct!!)

I am starting a French club after Easter. it is aimed at 0 to 5 years old and is based on play and music.
I would like something that sounds French and fun!

MERCI BEAUCOUP

Hi hi hi! I like La vache qui rit! Parents and Frogglers is fab too

Not sure about chouxfleur as not many English people know about it.

Something like (although obviously not!) Petits Lapins? (or whatever is French for squirrel/ insert other cute animal).

Petit Lapins

Nontoxic · 16/03/2009 20:42

See, I thought lapins had connotations - doesn't 'hot rabbit' mean 'horny' - or was that a wind up I fell for?

Les Petites Choufleurs

Damn you chippy

There used to be a language club at DS's infant school years ago - Le Club Tricoleur, which I always rather liked.

hey, petit lapins is nice. I thought about "something" escargot but I don;t know if many people would link it to snail!

no, nontoxic, lapin in French has no 'horny' connotation that I know of

How about something that does what it says on the tin? French version of 'let's play and sing' - sounds clumsy when I say it with my rusty French but there might be an elegant way of saying it!
