Thinking about what to do this Mother's Day with your little one? How about a nice chilled day, all packed with some fun & adventure.

01 Go on a Picnic

Head on over to your local park with a blanket and some lunch. Let your baby feel the grass tickle their little feet, and have them lie down on your lap and watch the leaves rustle in the wind. Even if they’re too young, they’ll certainly love watching other people play and will appreciate the memories with you.

02 Visit a Swimming Pool

Many local swimming centres will have designated times for family swimming, when the crowds thin out and you don’t have to avoid splashing teenagers or serious lap swimmers. Hop in and watch your baby’s face light up as they experiences the magic feeling of weightlessness for the first time.

03 Host An Art Show

Buy a big box of chalk or crayons and sit beside your baby, doodling all over your driveway or sidewalk. It doesn’t matter if he isn’t old enough to draw his own stick figures. they’ll enjoy “helping” you and you’ll end up with a colourful entryway to your home.

04 Make a Home Movie

As soon as you manage to send one batch baby photos to loved ones, you're hounded for new pictures. Thankfully, today's technology can make sharing milestones a creative project. You can then send over the short movies via the Internet to they’re baby's grandparents. And of course, looking back at them will make the memories that much sweeter.

05 Visit a Pet Store

Go to the pet store and watch your baby laugh with glee when he ro she sees the puppies and kittens jumping around. Identify the animals, and then help her wave hello to each of them. Exotic-bird stores can be entertaining, too, especially if the bird gives your baby a shout-out.. And if you’re lucky, you might end up coming home with an unexpected companion.
