FIND KID-FRIENDLY EVENTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

• MAPLEWOOD DAY CAMP

4
Its amazing how kids can claim they are bored
when they have a room full of toys. And theres
often a backyard that looks like a playground.
5
However, kids crave new experiences. They fulfill
the need for exploration and socialization.
6
That is why it is always important to have a
running list of activities for the bored kids
in your life.
7
Create a fun-packed calendar by looking for
activities happening right there in your own
community.
8
SEARCH YOUR COMMUNITYS WEBSITE
9

• Today most communities have websites. And a
  calendar of events is usually just a few clicks
  away.

10

• Head to your city or neighborhood website. You
  will likely find seasonal events that are free
  for your community such as a party celebrating a
  new park opening.

11

• From volunteer opportunities to school festivals
  and holiday parades, you can always find
  something happening around town that will help
  keep your kids busy.

12
CHECK OUT WHATS HAPPENING AT DAY CAMP
13

• There is never a dull moment at day camp.
  Attending one of the many camp events available
  lets you meet your childs best friends and their
  parents.

14

• The casual atmosphere at day camp makes it easy
  to mingle with your neighbors.

15

• Themed events that encourage dressing like a
  superhero or taking a step back into the days of
  the wild west make it easy to get your kids
  excited about enjoying some family time.

16

• The best part is that you will have fun at these
  events since there are always other parents to
  talk to as your kids run and play.

17
EXPOSE YOUR KIDS TO THE LOCAL ARTS AND CULTURE
18

• Throughout the year, community cultural centers
  offer special events to encourage kids to learn
  more about art and science.
• For example, your library may host a summer
  reading club.

19

• Or the local art museum may plan craft activities
  for kids on certain days. Zoos, planetariums and
  science museums are a few more fun places to
  check out.

20

• Some communities also host street festivals. They
  highlight local artists and musicians.

21

• And the low-key atmosphere is a great place to
  introduce kids to culture without disrupting
  others.

22
CREATE YOUR OWN COMMUNITY EVENT
23

• When all else fails, you can always host an event
  on your own. Just invite your kids and their
  friends to do one of their favorite activities.

24

• Consider hosting a birthday party at day camp.
  All the neighborhood kids can play laser tag or
  hop on bumper boats.

25

• Alternatively, you could take your kids team to
  a ropes course so that they can strengthen their
  confidence and cultivate better teamwork skills.

26

• Having a few boredom busters in your parenting
  tool kit is an absolute must. And your kids
  benefit from getting out in the world.

27

• They can learn new concepts and skills to help
  them reach their full potential.

28

  is the time to start planning for exciting,
  wholesome activities that will satisfy your kids
  need for constant stimulation.
