Life With A Baby upcoming events

LWAB x Airdrie Public Library Weekly Craft & Play Time (Tuesday, June 30, 2026)

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Come join us in this cozy, welcoming space where tiny hands stay busy and parents get a chance to chat and breathe. Each session is filled with simple, fun sensory and craft activities designed for babies and toddlers - think exploring, creating, and a bit of happy mess along the way.

Younger babies are always welcome, and if crafting isn’t your thing that day, there’s plenty of space for tummy time!

It’s a come-as-you-are kind of group. There’s time for chatting, connecting, and settling into a rhythm with other parents who just get it.

Life With a Baby is a Canadian non-profit built around community and connection for parents in the early years. Through free, local programs and peer support, we creates spaces where you can show up as you are, meet other parents nearby, and build real, lasting friendships - so you don’t have to walk through this season alone.

Sensory Saturday

Start your weekend with fun, connection, and hands-on play at Sensory Saturday!

This family-friendly program is designed for children and their caregivers to explore interactive sensory activities together in a welcoming, relaxed environment.

Parents can enjoy quality time playing alongside their child, meeting other families, and letting little ones explore freely without worrying about the mess at home. We’ll handle the cleanup so you can head off and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Activities may include sensory bins, creative play stations, movement activities, and more, all designed to encourage exploration, social interaction, and fun.

Important Information:

● Parent/caregiver supervision is required at all times. While we will do our best to ensure activities do not contain small pieces, caregivers are responsible for closely monitoring their child during play.

● Feel free to bring your own coffee or tea, or purchase a beverage from the Kiwanis counter located near the building entrance.

Come play, connect, and kick off your Saturday with sensory fun!

I look forward to seeing your there,
