Baby circus is a game of interaction between baby and parent, with the aim of having fun together and supporting the child’s body and development. We start by playing games, then we explore what kind of movements and postures the baby likes. We have a dummy with us to demonstrate, but we are happy to demonstrate tricks with your little ones too.

Babies aged 4 months or older who do not yet walk can take part in the baby circus. The baby must also have a firm head support. There are no other requirements, come as you are, there is something for everyone. Please dress yourself in flexible and comfortable clothes without zippers or anything else that sticks.

The Baby Circus includes coffee and tea for adults and the opportunity to feed your baby with your own snacks during the event. The event lasts 90 min, with the duration of the activity depending on the babies’ ability to cope.

Price 12 €/baby.
Pre-registration: tel. +35840 646 4103 or MielenTanssi website.

Note! You can participate in Finnish, Swedish, English and French.
