Free Local Events for Families...

Now is a great time to start researching what will be going on in your community for summer family fun!  Many communities host 'Music in the Park', or 'Movies on the Lawn' or 'Theatre in the Park' type events for families that are free.  These are wonderful opportunities for your children to experience theatre and music at a great price:  FREE!!  Check your local papers or call your local chamber of commerce or tourism office.

Many National Landmarks host great art events for families in the spring and summer---any that are surrounding you are great ones to check!

Happy Spring!

This Weekend W/ Your Kids.....

Do something fun and creative with your children this weekend!  Here are a couple of fun ideas:

MEMENTO STEPPING STONE...

With a small bag of cement mix just enough to go into a large pot saucer.  Before you pour it in line the saucer with plastic wrap.  Pour the mixed cement in and then have fun adding fun mementos from a vacation, trip, fun hobby, etc.--small toys or trinkets work great.  After 24-48 hours it will be ready for your yard/garden!

NATURE WALK BRACELET:

Take a wide piece of masking tape and put it around each child's wrist with the sticky side facing out.  Take a nature walk and as they find fun treasures they can stick it on their "bracelet".  When you get home they can put it up on a bulletin board as a special reminder of their fun time with you!

Enjoy your weekend---be CREATIVE!!
