Winter is comming. I need to find more indoor activities for my 3 yr old son. Do you have any suggestions, e.g. regular concert? Thanks

Hi oak!

Have you visited open daycares? They can be found here:

At least in the one nearby us (in Leppävaara) is very nice and has everyday a guided activity session. Or how about attending a kerho? It's usually 3 hours per day, 1-4 times a week, without parents (the communal system). See:

Hoplop. Bring some earplugs for yourself.

What is the etiquette for open paivakoti? Can I just show up with the rugrat and let her partake of the activities as long as I stay there as well? Or do I need to sign her up/register her in advance?

With our open päiväkoti we just turn up and take part in whatever is happening. The Espoo website has a list of times and opening hours. Our OP has a monthly timetable that you take home with you so that you can see when the best sessions are for you, e.g under 1s, over 2s, arts, music etc.
