Days out & things to do 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? 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?


For more information on local parks visit: www.bristol.gov.uk and search on ‘parks and open spaces’.


Young babies love baby yoga & massage as well as swimming and from the age of approximately 3 - 6 months, most babies also enjoy, baby gym and music & movement classes. Older children will enjoy junior sporting, dance & drama activities and it’s a great way to tire them out!


Why not also make a regular expedition to your local children’s farm, zoo 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 and rainy day, why not visit a child friendly museum, craft centre or indoor play centre or do some home baking with your little one (see page 29 for some ideas or look at www.smallstepsonline.co.uk for hundreds more!).
