Now that the weather is getting nicer I'm sure everyone is itching to get out of the house! Here are a list of some free places to take the kiddos when the backyard just won't do.
1. Library: Take a ride to your local library and read! Some libraries have play toys in the children's section and offer classes for you and your child to attend for free!
2. Park: Visit your local park {or try a new park} to play! Some other things to do while you're there: fly a kite, bring a picnic, bring a ball, play tag, Frisbee, etc. The possibilities are endless!
3. Farm: We are lucky enough to have an Ecology Center close by which is free for the public! There are animals to see {& some to feed}, a park, a trail, and a garden center to explore while there. We try to go at least once a month in the warm weather.
4. Lake: Take a ride to a nearby lake. Bring some bread for the ducks/geese, bring binoculars to look at boats or people out on the water, bring a magnifying glass to find treasures {if your lake has a beach} or to look for fish, etc.
5. Museum: Some local museums may be free or hold free tours for children. Look up some local museums and give them a call if you can't find any info online.
6. Festival: See if there are any free town festivals in the area.
7. Mall Events: Check out your local mall to see if there will be any character visits or events held. Ours is having a Dr. Seuss event soon! We can't wait to go!
8. Water Park: Not as in an amusement park. There is a park about 25 minutes from us that has a gated water section full of sprinklers and fountains for the kids! It's free and it's fun!
9. Visit a Friend: Make a play date with a friend. It's fun for mommy {&/or daddy} and child!
10. Church/Town Event: Check your town or church events. Some of our church events are to raise money, but sometimes there are free ones too!
11. Craft Store Class: Some craft stores {such as Michaels} have craft classes for children that are free {I believe it's for ages 3+}! Go to their website and click on Store Events for more info or you can just give your local store a call.

12. Do Some Good: Sign up for a walk to raise money for a cause, bring someone a dish or flowers if you know they are ill, check with a nursing home or hospital if they take young volunteers for visits, take your child to drop off a donation at a good will or food pantry.
If you have any other ideas I'd love for you to share! Have fun!
