Check out this post at mykindofmom.com for 25 free (or inexpensive) things to do with our kiddos in the Dallas area this summer!
A couple of my favorite new ideas:
Free workshops for kids ages 5-12 beginning at 9am until noon, the first Saturday of the month at all area Home Depot Stores! Next up, is July 5th, where the children can make FREE birdhouses!
A visit to the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve
My Kind of Mom calls it a "hidden sanctuary" in West Plano, with: "...an amazing 200-acre park, with a large playground, over 4 miles of paved hiking/biking paths, large pavilions, a creek, and even an observation tower. Take your kids with a list of “evidence” to search for (a particular plant, a type of tree, etc.) and have them collect it in a picture, a drawing, or even the object itself. A list is available here, you can check out “Are You an Outdoor Kid” for other nature trail ideas, or you cold make a list of your own."Check out the rest of her list - there are ideas for super-cheap movies (for really hot days), and lots of other really interesting things to do around the area!
