Days out & activities with your baby, toddler or pre-schooler
ll babies and toddlers love to go out and it’s good for you too! Why not schedule in a regular daily walk to the park and perhaps arrange to meet some other mums there too or join an organised Mums fitness class in the park? It won’t be long before your baby will enjoy being pushed in a baby swing or helped down a little slide. If there is a river or pond in your park, they will also enjoy watching or feeding the ducks.

Older toddlers can leap around and explore the bigger space of the park and burn off some of their seemingly boundless energy! If the weather is nice, why not take a snack or picnic?

Young babies love baby sensory & massage as well as swimming and from the age of approximately 3 - 6 months, most babies also enjoy baby gym and music & movement classes. So why not try one of the classes in this magazine? Older children will enjoy junior sporting, dance, art & drama activities and it’s a great way to tire them out!
Why not also make a regular expedition to your local family farm or country park? All children love the BIG outdoors and most venues also include toddler friendly, fun activities and cafes for mums!
Or, if it's a cold or rainy day, why not visit an indoor play centre or child friendly theatre or arts centre. Alternatively why not try some home baking with your little one instead - see page 29 for some ideas, or visit
