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. As always, it’s best to confirm with your local store before you make a special trip.
This weekend is a holiday weekend so many places are not having the weekly event.
Barnes and Noble: Due to the holiday weekend, it looks like storytime will only be held on Tuesday (and not Thursday and Saturday). I would confirm this with your local store as it may vary by location.
Each week typically consists of 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.
Michaels: They have a weekly Passport to Imagination Program for children during the summer. Classes are $5 and offered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Williams-Sonoma: Children can make a Lattice Crusted Blueberry Pie and Crisp on July 4th at 10am. Suitable for ages 5-13.
Lego Store: Just a heads up that Lego Stores now allow online reservation for the monthly build. I will remind you once it gets closer for August but July is already full!
Home Depot: The next Home Depot event will be July 4th and your kids will build a Minion Scooter. The event is between 9am to 12pm and geared toward children ages 5-12. You do need to register.
If you live near an American Girl Store, you might check out their events. Times and dates vary.
