Each Session will have different activities.  Prairie Babies is exclusively outdoors and will utilize outdoor shelters if it is raining.  Hiking will still take place in the rain, so rain gear or umbrellas may be used. 

*Our Winter Sessions will not include hiking*

Sensory Play – Sensory play will engage all of your baby’s 5 senses using natural materials and will be a great way for you to learn new ways to play with your baby at home.

Hiking – Hiking is a great way to be outdoors, exercise, and spend time with your baby.  Hikes are beginner to intermediate level and will include guidance on how to hike comfortably with your little one. 

Yoga – Led by a certified yoga instructor, you and your baby will be led through a fun and calming yoga practice.
