Fun for the Littlest Ones

Wanna hang out outside?

January 21, 2009

Yeah, me neither. The shorter the walk to the car the better, I dream of the day I have a garage. So last week I posted about stuff to do when you're stuck inside. Well now that that Arctic air has passed over us (OH MY I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO COLD) we can poke our heads out and venture to greener pastures (aka, NOT MY HOUSE.) I don't care if you eat fast food or not, you could hate the stuff for  Read more...

I see you, you see me, we see us.

Kids love to look at themselves. And while I don't always love looking in the mirror there are plenty of occasions I can find where looking in a mirror can be fun. Add a little kid into the mix and mirrors can be even more fun. When you're out and about look for mirrors and reflective surfaces everywhere you go, in the store, in bathrooms, in restaurants and even in your car. I've given my  Read more...

Three days in and around Indianapolis: Day 1, Indianapolis Children's Museum

July 08, 2008

If you are coming to Indianapolis from anywhere in the state, the nation or the world with a preschooler you would be a fool not to go to the world's largest children's museum . Even us locals take out of towners here to impress them with five levels of " Why didn't they have this kind of stuff when I was a kid?

This summer alone my daughter has taken ballet, participated in a preschool soccer clinic and is  Read more...

Room to run : Best places to tire out your preschooler.

May 28, 2008

There are some days that my daughter is a bundle of energy that my house, even my neighborhood cannot contain. The local playgrounds and bike rides barely put a dent in her free spirit. Keeping her still in a Museum or for story time is out of the question. Just for days like this I have for you a list of places to tucker out your toddler.
