International Babywearing Week 2013

Next week is International Babywearing Week and Babywearing Around Tulsa has many ways for you to get involved!  Check out our schedule of both on-line and social activities!

Model It Monday (social) - Meet up at Hunter Park at 3:30pm for a fun babywearing photoshoot. Group shoot is free, mini sessions available for $5.  Fees for the mini sessions will benefit the Lending Library and will be collected at the time of the shoot.
Manly Monday (on-line) - share pics of your favorite babywearing men


Tutorial Tuesday -
Social - Babywearing 101 with C.J. North at Liberty Park in Sapulpa. 6:00pm 
On-line - Check out a blog post sure to get your creative juices flowing


Work Out Wendesday -
Social - Meet up at the playground at 96th and Riverside for a babywearing walk at 3:00.  This walk will be down the path along Riverside Drive and will be easily navigable by strollers, so even if you have multiple kids and don't want to tandem, don't let that stop you.  There is a park with playground and parking, we will meet there to start our walk.
On-line - share pictures or links to your favorite babywearing workouts

Throwback Thursday - Post your very first babywearing picture

Fun For All Friday -
Social - Head over to the OKC Zoo for a fun playdate with both the OKC and Lawton babywearing groups. State-wide playdate!  The fun will start at 10am.
On-line - Share your most fun babywearing picture or story

Shout it Saturday -
Social - Grab your favorite carrier and join us at the Tulsa zoo at 10am to share the babywearing love with everyone you meet. We will meet inside the gates at the big globe.
On-line - Share the BWATulsa facebook page or blog on your own personal page and see how many new parents and caregivers we can interest in sharing the gift of babywearing with their little one. 


Social Media Sunday - share your experiences from the week.  Consider writing a blog post about how babywearing has affected your life or about how much fun you had over the past week!  Blog posts can be emailed to BabywearTulsa@gmail.com. 


On top of all of that, all week long we will be running a Babywearing Photo Scavenger Hunt!  Ashley Ritchie will post more details on that soon.  I know she has prizes lined up and is seeking a few more.  All pictures submitted to the babywearing photo scavenger hunt are required to be taken during international babywearing week.
