Drop-in, hands-on outdoor activities and storytime for toddlers at Cheekwood.
TOTS! is back at Cheekwood on Thursday, October 15, with its usual mix of outdoor activities and storytime for toddlers. If you've got a little one who can't sit still, this is exactly the kind of thing they're built for.
The whole thing is a drop-in session, which is the best part for anyone parenting a toddler. You don't have to commit to a strict schedule or worry about being late for a specific start time; you just show up when it works for your morning. Once you're there, the activities are hands-on and take place outdoors, so the kids can move around and get their energy out rather than being expected to stay in one spot. The storytime is woven in, too, so there's a balance of active play and a bit of quiet listening.
Because it's at Cheekwood, the outdoor setting is a big part of the experience. It's a chance to get the kids outside and let them explore with their hands, which is a nice change from the usual indoor toddler activities. The hands-on part means they're actually doing things—touching, building, creating—rather than just watching someone else do it. It's designed for the toddler age group, so everything is scaled for them.
