A fun afternoon away with your baby and toddler: what to do?

Photography by Carolien Baudoin.

What a wonder! Not long ago you brought a sweet little child into the world. Your little one naturally deserves all the care and attention they need

But if there is already an older brother or sister, it takes some time to find a new rhythm together. The quiet moments and walks you once enjoyed with your eldest child are no longer there. Because while your baby is sleeping, being fed, or crying, your eldest also wants attention. How do you divide your attention between the two for an enjoyable afternoon?

You may have already noticed - your toddler is very active. Discovering and trying new things is becoming very interesting. But your baby also needs rest and naps. What now?

Go on an outdoor adventure

Exploring and discovering is very important for your eldest child. Nature is a great place for that. Getting some fresh air with the family, isn't that lovely? Your eldest leads the way, while you can also keep an eye on your baby. Or they take a nice nap along the way.

What will you do outdoors then?

The Spriet seasonal box has everything you need

Spriet understands that life is busy. They want more quality time and less hassle. So Spriet helps you experience more nature in an easy way.

The seasonal box is filled with four completely prepared nature activities. Then you don't have to worry about them. You just need to open the box, and start.

With the help of this box, your toddler will experience the wonders of nature in a playful way. It is wonderful to see nature through your toddler's eyes.

Eight times a year there is a different box with activities. This way there is always something new to do.

What does such a box look like?

Now you are wondering: what does it involve? With the box, your toddler gets to work on craft activities, scavenger hunt cards, and their own little plants close to home. In spring, your toddler will, for example, go looking for dandelions and plantain. And you will make seed bombs with clay. This way you will soon have your own flower paradise. There are plenty of activities to do with your children!

Do you not have a garden or do you live in the city? No worries. You can do all the activities with the nature close to home. Even in the city. And even if you don't have a garden.

You can also do all the activities with the nature you have in your home.

A fun afternoon for everyone

While your eldest child is busy with scavenger hunts, you can easily take the little one along in a baby carrier. Baby carriers have a sturdy frame and a comfortable design, so your body is not strained. This way you can take your child along for a long time and you also have your hands free!

Without the car? That is also possible!

Want to skip the car for a change? Then a cargo bike is a good option. This way you can get some nice exercise and your children can enjoy the view or continue the scavenger hunt. No worries about your baby! There are also designs and accessories for the cargo bike, so everyone is transported safely.
