Here are some free or cheap children’s activities available this week to keep the kiddos busy. I thought posting these now will help you plan your week.
These are all the things that are free to do this week with just a few that are very inexpensive.
Pottery Barn Kids: Every Tuesday from 11AM-11:30AM, kids of all ages are invited to story time. Times can vary slightly from store to store so you might want to call ahead to verify.
Noon Year’s Eve Event: Ring in the New Year with your little ones who won’t be awake at midnight on 12/31 at 11:30 am. Bring a shoebox for your child to decorate and keep as a 2015 memory box while they wait for the countdown. As the clock strikes “noon”, children will celebrate with noisemakers and special giveaways.
Lakeshore Learning: Kids will create Beary Warm Earmuffs on January 3rd. Stop by from 11am-3pm.
Barnes and Noble: There is a free storytime Tuesday and Thursday as well as Saturday of each week with books, a cookie and usually coloring pages and activities. Check your local store to confirm and verify time.
Bass Pro Shop: Your kids can participate in the Free Kid’s Adventures Activities- treasure hunts, crafts and more. These are weekly activities and vary greatly by location. You can head over here to find your local store to confirm activities and times. And just a heads up from personal experience, it is best to get in line early. These events tend to be very popular.
REI: They offer the Family Adventure Program with various classes for children and adults. I saw hiking and camping classes plus fun Geocaching adventures. I also saw outdoor photography lessons.
The selection and dates/times vary by location but you can check to see what your store is offering here.
Home Depot: The Home Depot event for January will be on Saturday, January 3rd and your kids will build a mini sled. This is a free workshop designed for children ages 5 – 12 between 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
You do need to register.
If you live near an American Girl Store, you might check out their events. Times and dates vary.
