With several weeks left before spring, your little ones might be
itching to go outside but can't quite withstand the cold
temperatures. Besides your local library or museums, try taking a
trip to a slightly smaller (and FREE) zoo close by…
Pet stores, which my family affectionately calls "Baby Zoo" can
be a delightful trip for your kids to learn about animals and see
critters that may never be welcome in your home like snakes and
tarantulas. My kids always get a kick out of watching the ferrets
play and are amazed to see Nemo and his friends in the fish
tanks.
This is a great way to help kids learn about a variety of
animals and how to care for them should they finally convince you
(if they haven't already) to get a family pet.
It's free and fun and helps relieve some of the cabin fever your
kids might be having as the holidays are over and the water parks
remain closed!
