entertaining an eight month old

[EmmaS]

Looking for something to do (free if possible) with my eight month son on Tuesdays and Fridays. We live in the East Dulwich area and are keen for somewhere close by. Any suggestions?

A visit to the horniman is always good (look at the fishes)

Swimming at peckjam pulse though not sure of the days they do for babies, and it can be hard to get a ticket.

There is another warm pool about, not sure where it is... search the forum? (Beckenham spa is good but not terribly warm)

The library has stuff on, but i can't get my twins in there, so not an expert.

leapers at Rye oak primary is tuesday i think

afternoons ther eis the one o'c clock club at p rye. Get there early if you want to get inside

Think Peckham Pulse swim sessions are at 3pm - lovely shallow warm pool. I've never had a problem getting in on a weekday (other than in school holidays, that is).

On Tuesdays there is a baby play session, including storytelling and singing, at Grove Vale Library from 10.30am-12pm.

Other activities, on Fridays: once it reopens (currently being renovated), the Albrighton Centre on Dog Kennel Hill opp Sainsburys has lots of good stuff. Supposed to be Baby dance 10-10.30am, musical instruments 10.45-11.15am, with sensory play 9.30am-11.30am last Friday in month. And once your baby is walking they will love the tiny gym at Camberwell Leisure Centre (10-11am for the littler ones).

Thanks Adam. I had never heard of the Albrighton Centre but sounds worth a try.
