We love summer on the Mornington Peninsula. Early swims before the beach fills up, salty hair and sandy feet, rockpool exploring along the shoreline, and long afternoons chasing shade and ice creams. It’s a season made for wandering, discovering and spending time together.
From berry picking at Rocky Creek Strawberry Farm, to spotting native wildlife at Moonlit Sanctuary, taking in the views from the gondolas at Arthurs Seat Eagle, or watching boats drift past from Schnapper Point in Mornington - summer here invites curiosity at every turn. And when it’s time to slow things down, there’s nothing better than a picnic by the water in Sorrento or the beach boxes that dot our shores, soaking up the last of the day.
To celebrate this season of adventure and imagination, we’ve teamed up with two much-loved, family-owned Mornington businesses, and stockists of our Ninch Kids Mornington Peninsula ABC book to bring you our Summer Giveaway - a little something to inspire play, storytelling and exploration as the summer months continue.

A Celebration of Place, Story and Summer Play
At Ninch Kids, our stories are deeply connected to place. Mornington Peninsula ABC: An Alphabet Adventure was created to help children recognise, name and connect with the places they explore every day - from beaches and bushland to local landmarks and wildlife.
Summer is the perfect time to bring those pages to life. Read together before heading out for the day, or wind down with a story after an afternoon of adventures. The book is designed to spark conversation, curiosity and a sense of belonging, whether you’re a local family or visiting the Peninsula on holiday.
Supporting Local Mornington Businesses
We’re proud to be collaborating with Colourful Learning Toy Store and Fred Peanut, both based in the heart of Mornington, a town that buzzes in summer with cafes, shops, playgrounds and its close proximity to popular Mills Beach and Mothers Beach.
