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.
Lakeshore Learning: Kids will make a Holiday Wreath on December 12th. 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.
Saturday (12/12) there will be a special Waiting is Not Easy! Storytime with fun activities. Check your local store to confirm.
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.
Many stores will have free Santa pictures, crafts and more.
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.
Lowe’s: The next Build and Grow is December 12th at 10:00 am. Children can make a Train Engine. Spots fill up quickly so it’s best to reserve your spot.
Michael’s: Kid’s Club Event on 12/12 from 10 am to 12 pm. Children can make Perler Santa Belt Coasters. $2 per project including supplies.
If you live near an American Girl Store, you might check out their events.
