Any events for little kids for the Halloween season, we used to live in Florida and they had an event every weekend and even on some weekdays, want more and different places for fun for my girls

We want to do something for my daughters birthday (and my birthday too😅) we’re having family over the weekend before but we want to do something on the day that’s fun too. But no ideas🤷🏼‍♀️Anyone know what to do where to go?

So my little one will be 8months at Christmas time, and Im already thinking what to get him. I know that he'll get the usual toys and clothes, but I really want something that will last him for a few years so it's not a total waste of money once he out grow these things. I just need some ideas of what to buy and...

Preferably something that keeps him secure. Thanks In advance :)

What's everyone doing in their babies wake periods in terms of keeping them entertained? I'm in need of ideas! He has a play mat he loves and have a few sensory toys too (rattles, coloured scarfs etc). Looking to get some more ideas to keep him busy! 😀

What is everyone getting for babys 1st birthday/christmas? My son was born 22nd december so pretty close. I am trying to think of things that a 1 and 2 year old could use as theres no big present days to split yp the year and then holding some presents back to open in the year. Atm im considering a balance bike/tri...

My son is 8 almost 9 months and I’m so bored of the same routine everyday. I feel like he’s getting bored too! We go on a walk everyday, sensory class once a week and then just normal play time during the day. It’s the play time that’s getting boring. We sit in his room and play with the same toys everyday. An...

We want to buy him a drum set but are afraid he will never release the drumsticks (musically inclined kid). Please comment on things your toddler won't let go of once they have it.

Just wondering what other mums out there are doing. My daughter is born a couple of weeks after Christmas and im already struggling with ideas. To make it harder, we have a 2 year old boy who has every toy you can think of so things like skuttle bug, tike car, trampoline and even toys she will already have. Any idea...

Hi everyone, Can someone recommend any classes for a 8 month old at an Ealing children centre? Not sure if I'm too stupid to look but I find it hard to get an overview of what's on offer TIA

When did everyone take the dummies away, my little boy will be 1 next month, is it too early to try and get him away from the dummies??

And decorations in general! What is everyone doing? My little boy’s idea of a fun time is throwing and knocking over things so I’m apprehensive about having a Christmas tree this year. Especially as we usually have a real one. Any ideas? Not sure having one high up will work well either because we very much enjoy c...

So baby is nearly 6 months now and I’ve been trying to keep her as entertained as possible during the day. It is hard as I’m alone at home and try to things done as much as I can. Currently we go for walks every single day, she has lots of sensory toys and blocks and a little bouncer which stays in for 20 minutes m...

Hi North York! Are there any walking groups for moms to be or mom's in east end North York? Am looking for any free exercise based groups! Pic of my local ravine where I go for walks!

I’ve just come to the conclusion that my daughter is completely bored of the toys she does have. And realistically she really hasn’t got anything new and exciting since Christmas time. She tends to just self soothe most of the day by rocking on her hands and knees instead of playing. It’s kind of concerning to me bu...

Any idea on how to entertain a 3 month old that will only nap 2 times a day

Any advice how to discipline a 2.5yo that doesn’t mind taking herself to the naughty step or happy to have time out in her room? She just finds me telling her no funny. I’m struggling!!!!

Are stationary activity centers with it? She already has a high chair, two swings , a bumbo seat, and a play pen also a walker. Should i just save money and just add toys to the Play Pen or just get an activity set?

My daughter 3 (4 in Dec) wants to be Miraculous Ladybug for Halloween, I mentioned to my mom she watches the show and she seen a costume and wants to be that. My mom gave me a whole spill about how it’s not appropriate for her age. My argument is she is seeing a girl superhero dressed as a ladybug and a cat sidekick...
