Hampden Wiggles, Father’s Day Frame-Making, And A Sunny Shelter Meet-Cute

Today’s Baltimore cuteness report has Hampden teeing up a stroller-friendly Thursday morning, Towson offering one very sweet little Father’s Day craft plan, and BARCS bringing a whole van full of possible new roommates to Glen Burnie this weekend.

Tomorrow morning in Hampden looks just right for board books, snack negotiations, and one decent grownup exhale

Pratt has Baby & Toddler Storytime on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 11 a.m. in Hampden, with stories, movement, play, songs, and playtime after for little ones under 2 and their favorite adults. A free Baltimore morning where the babies get the wiggles out and the grownups get to feel mildly back in control is a real neighborhood gift.

Sunday has a very soft little Father’s Day move if your household likes glue sticks and a good excuse to make somebody tear up

Visit Baltimore says IvyKids is hosting a free Father’s Day picture-frame event on Sunday, June 14, 2026 from 10 to 11 a.m. at The Shops at Kenilworth, with a storytime led by Tracy Gold and plenty of decorating time before everybody heads home with their handmade gift. That is exactly the sort of simple, sweet Greater Baltimore plan that turns into a keepsake on the fridge for the next ten years.

This weekend’s strongest chance of leaving an errand run with a new best friend is still the BARCS van down Ritchie Highway

BARCS has the Sun’s Out Tongues Out Adoption Event on Saturday, June 13, 2026 from noon to 4 p.m. at Petco Glen Burnie, with the BFF Waggin’ rolling in with adoptable dogs and cats ready to meet their people. If your Baltimore-area Saturday could use more tail wags, hopeful little faces, and the possibility of coming home with a copilot, this is a powerful detour.
