Mini Session Open Play: Babies

Thu, Nov 12 · 12:40 PM

Chelsea Forest Play · Chelsea

*To help keep our littlest guests healthy, we do a quick temperature check for all babies and adults at arrival, and we’ll gladly offer a credit if anyone is feeling under the weather.* Join us for a Mini Baby Open Play session, with all the fun and exploration of open play in a shorter, half-hour format that’s just right for little ones. Come play your way in a calm, welcoming session created just for our youngest explorers and their caregivers. While Chelsea Forest Play is often shared with toddlers and preschoolers, this open play is reserved exclusively for pre-walkers. During this session, we swap out our older play materials for age-appropriate toys that support tummy time, early movement, and gentle sensory exploration, all without the hustle of bigger bodies or busier play. This is a place to stretch out on the floor, watch your baby observe and interact, and connect with other caregivers. Whether your baby is lying, rolling, sitting, or simply taking it all in, they are welcome exactly as they are. Is your little one confidently walking? Check out our regular Open Play sessions!

In partnership with Magnetic Me , Imagination Station is a monthly event at Chelsea Forest Play where children step into a new world through imaginative play. Each month features a different real-world theme, with hands-on activities, sensory play, role-playing, and opportunities to explore, create, and learn together. This month, we’re opening the Woodland Wellness Clinic, where little doctors, nurses, and veterinarians can care for their forest friends through imaginative, hands-on play. How It Works 📖 Read Together We begin by gathering for a themed story that introduces the world we'll be exploring. 🌿 Step Into the Story After storytime, Curiosity Crossing transforms into an immersive play space filled with realistic props, interactive setups, and opportunities for pretend play. ✨ Explore & Discover Children move freely throughout the space, engaging in activities that encourage imagination, communication, problem-solving, sensory exploration, and real-world confidence through play. 🛝 Open Play After our 30-minute Imagination Station adventure, explorers will have 25 minutes of Open Play in the forest.
