Each child had their own personal setup and kid-sized recipe to follow, plus a full recipe card for caregivers to take home and make again together. ❤️

Thank you for joining us on this delicious adventure — we can’t wait to see you next time, Culinary Quest friends!

Reminder: Cafe au Play will be honoring Memorial Day as we will be closed to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. ❤️🤍💙

Thank you for your understanding as we reserve this time to be with our veterans and families during this meaningful holiday.

Memorial Day is also an opportunity to help our youth and young families learn the importance of remembrance, gratitude, and community.

Families can honor Memorial Day by:
• Visit and support the Durango Healing Fields
• Visiting memorials or placing flowers and flags
• Reading books together about service and sacrifice
• Taking a moment of silence together to reflect and remember
•Support your Veterans who have lost friends in service.

At Cafe au Play, we believe even our youngest children can begin learning kindness, gratitude, and respect through meaningful family traditions and community connection. 🇺🇸

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

🤍 A circle is strongest because every point supports the next. There is no beginning or end, no one carrying the weight alone. A circle represents connection, balance, belonging, and shared responsibility

At Cafe au Play, our Baby Group is part of that circle . A space where parents, babies, and caregivers can find connection, encouragement, and community during the early years of parenting.

Through free play, baby groups, art, music, and family support, our mission is to create a safe and welcoming place where families feel supported and never alone. Because when one family is cared for, our whole community grows stronger.

📚 You’ll see this sign at the cafe tomorrow — join us in the Reading Room!

“How do you start reading to your baby?”
Easy: pick up any book and just start. 💛

Reading to babies helps build language, connection, and a lifelong love of books — even from day one.

✨ Tips for reading to your baby:
• Use a calm, playful voice
• Point to pictures and describe them
• Let baby touch and explore the book
• Repeat favorite books again and again
• Don’t worry about finishing the story
• Read during everyday routines like bedtime or feeding
• Follow your baby’s cues and have fun with it

Every little moment counts. 📖👶
