The ABM Babies Story Session

Looking for free things to do with a baby or toddler in Funchal? The ABM Babies Story Session is a monthly reading activity for families at the Arquivo e Biblioteca da Madeira, held on the first Thursday of every month. Each session introduces little ones to a new picture book through gentle, interactive storytelling, followed by a hands-on creative activity — drawing, sensory play, or crafts — that encourages bonding and imagination between parents and children. No booking is required and admission is completely free, making it an easy, low-cost outing for families and tourists traveling with young children.
