SABC Education Baba Indaba
Get all the help you need with your precious bundle of joy at this one-stop baby and parenting expo!
When the stork delivers your bundle of joy, somehow the instruction manual tends to get lost along the way. So, the 2015 SABC Education Baba Indaba aims to do the work of this missing handbook and take all the uncertainty out of the daunting task of parenting with an insightful two day-long showcase. Taking place at the Lookout at The V&A Waterfront from Saturday, 1 to Sunday, 2 August 2015, this informative platform will provide moms and dads with all the tools they need to tackle their new journey into parenthood.
The award-winning event, which celebrates its 11th anniversary this year, is jam-packed with talks and tutorials for grown-ups, entertainment for the kiddies, loads of spot prizes to be won and more than 100 exhibitors. So, it’s no wonder that the annual to-do is considered SA’s best known and most loved baby and parenting exhibition and has become an integral event on the calendar for families across the country.
And if you’re running out of ideas for the next school holiday or simply want to keep the little ones busy over the weekend, have a look at our 50 super cool things to do with kids and selection of child-friendly restaurants.
