7 Mommy and Me activities to do in Philadelphia
1. Baby WordPlay with Mrs. Pam
My family fell in love with Mrs. Pam when we visited her interactive storytelling in Grays Ferry. Now, you can fall in love with Mrs. Pam at Baby Wordplay’s Little Theater in her new Fairmount Theater location. Miss Pam offers interactive storyplays that engage your little one with words, music, and books. Additionally, Mrs. Pam offers a 15 minute interacitve podcost with early literacy skills. Her episodes brings skills like rhytm and language structure, and vocabulary to your baby. Many moms love playing this during car rides and witching hours to get a calm moment for babies.
2. The Nest in Center City
If you have yet to join or visit the Nest, you should! When my boys were little, this was my home away from home. The play area downstairs was a prime favorite for those rainy days. It is a great spot for meeting other moms, grabbing coffee, and chatting while your kids play. The Nest also offers various classes, from music to gym and enrichment. If you are a new mom, sign up for Liz’s Hatchlings playgroup for newborns; it’s a great way to connect with new moms. It’s also a great space for birthday parties.
3. The Philadelphia Free Library
It’s always a favorite of ours, perfect for a drop-in story time class right before lunch and snacks. Or spend a rainy day reading books or playing in a small nook in a library. Check your local branch or visit the main branch in Center City for story times and other family activities.
4. Please Touch Museum
This is one of those memberships that we adored. It was a must in our family for many years. I love that babies under one are free. So take that little one of yours before their first birthday, stroll, and explore all the crawling and walking spaces they have. It’s a great space to grow with your kids. My kids always got excited about the new exhibit they would present. The museum also has a schedule of story times and events for kids and families.
5. The Philadelphia Zoo
I am speaking of memberships. , we still have a membership to the Philadelphia Zoo. When my boys were little and still napping, this was an excellent spot for us to take a morning walk, stop for lunch, and sleep when we got home. As a member y, you also get to hop into the kikids’ playhouse during the summer; make sure you pack a picnic and join them for an outdoor concert for the kids. Check out the schedule for all the fun family events they have planned.
6. In Movement Gymnastics Education
They offer classes, summer camps, and birth parties for kids of all ages. Check out their schedule and your little one moving and exploring.
