Travel
This month, behold Mike Kelley’s soft-toy installations, immerse yourself in the wonderfully weird world of Tim Burton and check out north London’s newest role-play cafe.
Design paper playgrounds, build cosy dens and rave the summer away in an artist-designed indoor neighbourhood made for child-led play.
This month, explore a (usually) private playground, discover an architectural play installation in Leicester Square and check out the new Serpentine Pavilion (spoiler: it has a play tower).
This month, help decorate a giant papier mache birthday cake and a colossal doodle apartment; play around with large moving art at Tate Modern and embark on an immersive adventure with Paddington Bear.
This month, immerse yourself in a magical land of paper, check out the latest in experimental game design and watch a show about poo.
This month, immerse yourself in the world of Biba, follow a larger-than-life guide-dog trail and meet Bluey the Blue Heeler pup at Kew Garden.
Parenting is equal parts brutal and beautiful, filled with euphoric highs and agonising lows, but having access to a wealth of inspiring and affecting exhibitions can at least go some way to making it easier (that, and ignoring anyone who tells you babies don’t belong in art galleries).
This month, celebrate the return of Canary Wharf’s Winter Lights trail, hang out with a gang of giant soft robots and do downward-facing dog with a posse of puppies.
This month, wrap up warm and enjoy outdoor light installations, wintry trails and magical ice rinks… or cuddle up at home with some festive (virtual) theatre.
