Toddler Town @Children’s Festival {+ Giveaway}

If you have visited the International Children’s Festival in the past you may be familiar with Toddler Town, an area dedicated to children four and under. In past years my little ones have loved attending Toddler Town and I love that they are able to go to a mini festival just for them! And even better yet, Toddler Town has expanded this year so that your little ones will have even more activities to explore.

This whimsical little town features storytelling, musical performances, colourful stamping stations, an exploration and free play area with hula hoops, balls and soft tumbling mats, family games, a parachute and more! And if you are looking for a quiet place to rest, feed baby, change a diaper or just take a minute to organize your crew; head over to the Mommy Lounge (Dad’s are welcome too!) for as long as you need.

    I’ve taken the dayhome I used to watch before but this year will be the first time I go with my daughter. She’s 18 months so I hope she enjoys it as much as I have in the past.
