By Mulder, Paris Montreuil Expo, 26 october 2024

Every year, KidExpo is the must-attend event in October for families looking for entertainment, discovery and inspiration for their children. The 2024 edition is no exception, reinforcing its position as the must-attend family show with an enriched program and exciting new features. Organized around interactive spaces and a variety of themes, KidExpo offers an experience where education, play, innovation and sharing take center stage.

KidExpo is designed to encourage children's participation in a wide range of activities, giving them the opportunity to have fun while learning. The creative workshop area offers manual activities, such as painting, crafts and modeling, to stimulate the creativity of the youngest visitors. Likewise, the popular science hub features interactive experiments to introduce children to science in a fun way: there are chemistry and physics demonstrations, and even programming activities for future engineers and inventors.

This year, the focus is also on sport and well-being, with areas where children can try their hand at a variety of physical disciplines, from team sports and motor games to individual activities such as climbing and gymnastics. Activities are supervised by professionals to ensure the safety of participants while providing them with an enriching experience.

KidExpo 2024 brings together renowned brands, daring startups and associations dedicated to family well-being. Each exhibitor brings a unique offering, from the latest technological toys to educational tools and products for children's health and well-being. New this year, a number of brands are offering product previews, enabling families to try out new products before they go on sale.

Parents will also find solutions for everyday family needs, with products such as educational games, interactive books, learning software, and even gadgets to help manage household chores. This makes KidExpo the ideal place to discover the trends and innovations shaping the family world.

Although KidExpo is primarily focused on children, parents are not forgotten. Dedicated spaces and moments allow them to relax, get informed and exchange ideas with other parents and childhood experts. In the 2024 edition, the conference program has been enriched with speakers specializing in positive pedagogy, infant nutrition, mental health and caring parenting.

Among the topics covered, workshops on positive education enable parents to discover constructive communication and emotion management techniques, while health conferences highlight current issues such as food allergies, the benefits of a balanced diet, and family stress management. These are essential moments for parents in search of practical, caring advice.

KidExpo 2024 is resolutely committed to an eco-responsible approach, with particular attention paid to the ecological impact of the event. At the heart of the show are a number of initiatives designed to raise awareness of environmental issues among the younger generation. Children can take part in creative recycling workshops, learn ecological gestures such as waste sorting, and even plant their first seeds in an educational garden.

The show also features exhibitors committed to sustainable consumption, presenting eco-designed toys, clothing made from recycled materials, and natural skincare products. Parents are thus encouraged to adopt more environmentally-friendly practices, with ideas for transforming their daily lives into a more sustainable lifestyle.

KidExpo isn't just about activities and stands. The show is designed to be a place of relaxation and conviviality. Visitors can enjoy family-friendly catering areas, with a variety of options to suit all tastes and diets. Rest areas allow families to meet up, exchange ideas and share their discoveries in a relaxed atmosphere.

Another of KidExpo 2024's strong points is safety and accessibility. The show is designed to welcome children of all ages, with specific areas for toddlers and reinforced safety measures in the play and activity zones. Families can therefore enjoy the show with complete peace of mind.

KidExpo 2024 takes place this year at Paris Montreuil Expo, a venue that is easily accessible by public transport and well suited to hosting large crowds. Tickets are available online in advance, enabling visitors to organize their visit more efficiently and avoid queues. With low rates for families and an experience that spans several days, KidExpo is the ideal place for an enriching and fun family outing.
