Ooey gooey slime, sensory play, music, and instruments… what could be more perfect for a toddler birthday party?! We love these fun events with Here We Grow! They offer music circle parties and ooey gooey play parties for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers all around Atlanta. We got to chat with Taryn Rioseco, Founder, Here We Grow, to hear all about their awesome events and birthday parties for kids. Let’s jump in!
Getting Started: Creating Connections for New Parents and Little Ones
Taryn and her family moved to Atlanta five years ago. A former theatre producer, she decided it was time for a career change and a shift in how she spent her time. So, Taryn became a birth doula and eventually a childbirth educator. From there, the business evolved into postpartum support and groups for new moms. She launched new and innovative ways of bringing moms around Atlanta together, offering music together, leading moms circles, and hosting family music classes. She quickly realized she could use her new certifications and education background to inspire other moms and offer fun and unique activities for babies, toddlers, and young kids. Here We Grow was born and has taken off across Atlanta.
All The Details: Music Class & Sensory Play for Parents & Littles
Here We Grow offers three types of birthday parties for babies, toddlers, and young children:
Ooey Gooey Play Parties: Perfect for baby birthday parties and toddler birthday parties, ooey gooey play parties, are themed, with three stations that all include messy play or process art, and various sensory activities. Play can be customized to fit your theme with recent themes including bugs, dinosaur dig, and mermaids. The party includes 75 minutes of activity with 3 sensory stations for 6-15 participants.
Music Circle Parties: For these birthday parties, the Here We Grow team brings instruments, props, puppets, parachutes, and more - leading the party in a super cute and fun musical experience. Activity is 35 minutes for 6-20 participants, with shared instruments provided.

We asked Taryn about her favorite part of hosting parties for children; she told us, “To me, it’s all about connections; I love getting to connect with the birthday friends and make connections with parents. We need connection to thrive and survive in the same way we need sleep, water, and food. When people and families connect with each other, family members and friends, rich relationships are made.”
If your toddlers and preschoolers love getting their hands messy, singing, dancing, and making music as much as mine – these Atlanta birthday parties are for you!
