Grab & Go Kids Planner

Catch a Nature Walk or a Show

This week's activities have a seasonal theme.

 

The sounds of Spring?  It's music to our ears and probably yours as well.  It's also the perfect to spend some time out doors.  And if it rains?

Enter our weekly Grab & Go Kids Planner.  It has kid-and-family friendly activities for indoors and outdoors.

As always, help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips—if we missed anything, just leave us a comment letting us know!
