Having a toddler sometimes can be a
daunting task and coming up with ways to amuse him or her can be quite the
experience onto itself. The best way of coming up with places that your toddler
might enjoy can be a rewarding experience. Here are 5 places in Orleans where you and your toddler will enjoy.
1. Cumberland Library. The library is an
amazing place for your toddler to explore the world of books while playing with
some stimulating toys and interacting with other kids. It will also be a great
way for you to connect with other parents in the community and pick up tips for
everyday activities etc for your toddler. Be sure to get a library card for
your little one and take out a few books he or she likes.
2. Place Orleans Shopping Mall. A mall you
say? Yes! The Mall is a great way to get your toddler to explore different
stores selling different items. Be sure to go at times when it isn't too
busy.s. He or she will love touching
and observing items, seeing different people and of course walking around the
mall. You can also do some shopping while you're there of course.
3. Millennium Park. This is a great park
located off Trim Road. There are always other kids of various ages for your
toddler to interact with-- and like the library lots of parents whom yoi can chat
with while the little ones play. There is a area made for toddlers with a
decent sized slide and swings and lots of room for your toddler to play in the
sand. Be sure to bring lots of sun screen, a hat, water, extra set of clothing and
healthy snacks for the outing. Also, bring along some sand toys so you can
play with your toddler in the sand. It's a new, fun park and highlights how
Orleans is rapidly developing into one of Canada's best communities to live in.
4. Ray Friel Centre. Many of you
probably know this place well. Located right beside the Cumberland Library the
Ray Friel Centre offers a bevy of programs aimed for many age groups and
some of which are for toddlers. Although there may be nominal fees, programs
like swimming lessons are great for your toddler.
5. Neighbourhood strolls. Orleans is a
beautiful and growing community that needs to be explored! Next time your
toddler is a bit sleepy take him or her out for a nice relaxing stroll to great
neighbourhoods like Fallingbrook or Avalon. You will get excellent exercise and
have a great time exploring Orleans yourself.
This list is a small sample of the great places you and your toddler can explore. However, there are much more great places to
explore and discover in Orleans. Be sure to leave comments and let us know
