Babies and Toddlers Storytelling: Zoom to the Moon at Bewley's

Bewley’s Grafton Street is one of those Dublin institutions that has been hosting family life for generations - the cafe where Dublin parents brought their children, who grew up and brought their own. A storytelling session for babies and toddlers in the Bewley’s building on a Sunday morning is the kind of thing that gets passed on.

Zoom to the Moon is a space-themed storytelling and sensory session designed for babies and toddlers. At this age, “storytelling” means songs, sounds, movement, simple props, and the kind of gentle interactive experience that captures very young attention without overstimulating it.

What to Expect

A 45-minute session, typically, with a storyteller leading babies and toddlers through a space-themed adventure involving songs, rhymes, and imaginative play. Parents and caregivers participate alongside their children - this isn’t a drop-off activity.

Bewley’s is a comfortable and familiar Dublin setting, which helps with babies who can be unpredictable in new environments. The room is warm, the cafe surrounds are available afterwards, and a Sunday morning in Bewley’s is a pleasant way to spend the time.

This session is for the youngest attendees: babies who aren’t yet walking and toddlers up to around 2 or 3 years old. Check the listing for the specific age range.
