Grab and Go Kids Planner
It's a great week to experience history, a new language or create something new.
It’s Wednesday again and Patch has been looking hard for fun things to do with the kids.
This week, how about trying to spark their interest in history by touring The Keith House, or enjoy an 18th century dinner with colonial characters. The girls might enjoy learning about fashions throughout history.
If history is not your kids' thing, then they could try learning a new language or creating some great art.
