Looking for ideas for all things child-friendly? In the Citizen Enfants round-up, let us inspire you with things to do, buy, watch, try, and experience with your children every month.
From cultural days out and amazing hotels, to stylish junior fashion finds and go-to products, each month we will tell you what we, and our favourite mums, are up to. Here’s what we are up to this February.
Sheena Bhattessa, Founder
STAY I’m really looking forward to a mini getaway to Four Seasons Hampshire with my 18 month old. Plenty of space for her to run around and a pool for her to really enjoy. BOOK I’m all over the Imagine Children’s Festival at Southbank so have booked a couple of shows and workshops to enjoy. BUY Bigger shoes are regularly on the shopping list, and these baby glitter sneakers from Chloé Kids are in the bag. EAT At Mayha, an intimate 11 seat omakase restaurant and bar in Marylebone, right up my alley, for an early night out at their 6.30pm seating. TRY Now I’m expecting my second child, I’m thoroughly enjoying the Kichi Forever Oil on my growing bump.

SEE My youngest son can’t wait to see the new Puss in Boots movie that’s just been released so I’ll be taking him and his friends to our local Everyman cinema to see it asap. BOOK The biggest dinosaur ever arrives at the Natural History Museum next month for for the Titanosaur exhibition. I’ll be booking now to make sure I can get tickets – it’s sure be very popular over the Easter holidays. BUY We are heading off on a family ski holiday to Switzerland this half term, so I’ll be popping into Snow and Rock to pick up some last-minute things for my boys, like socks, gloves, and neck warmers. TRY It’s still very much winter out there and with that comes all the nasty colds and bugs, so I’ll be adding Leapfrog Remedies IMMUNE supplements to my boys’ daily vitamins to give them a little extra boost. SHOP I adore the new Zara Mini Artists face painting pencils so will be getting some for my little niece to play with. Like make-up but much more fun and age appropriate.

STAY The Birch because they have the forest explorer class which my son Atlas would absolutely love. BOOK The play Anansi The Spider, its an African Tale, at The Unicorn Theatre. BUY Anything to make cakes! Atlas is very much into cooking, but breaking the eggs is his speciality in the baking process. Daunt books around the corner in Marylebone is stacked with brilliant recipe books such as the River Cafe Cook Look book. EAT Sunday morning lunchtime in Marylebone at The Farmer’s Market is our regular haunt, tasting different things at all the stalls, the macaron one is a particular favourite. TRY Piano lessons are going to be added as an activity. We currently have football (fully embraced) and swimming (took some convincing), so now we are adding this to the mix. Half term is about trying new things.

STAY I am so excited to be going away to Megève. It’s ideal for families as its only 45 minutes away from Geneva and it has a range of hotels. EAT At Kinugawa Megève to celebrate my birthday. Another local favourite where we will head is Les Fermes de Marie, and possibly Le Piaf if we stay up passed 10pm! Definitely Le Hibou Blanc with the kids. BOOK We have booked ski school for my children during the day as well as lunch clubs. BUY Childrensalon is always such a good online place to shop for skiwear. Brands like Molo are great as I don’t want to go too crazy as children grow out of it so quickly, it’s a definitely for the cool kids. Me and my husband always wear Fusalp, chic and technically perfect.
