Being Savvy: Activities, things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Columbus, OH
Product Review: Leap Frog Fridge Words
Today my preschooler was entertaining us with her amazing ability to spell words. Some of the words she can spell include cat, bear, pig, ball, cake, water and rocket. I have to say I was very impressed. Her little bit of TV time each day is often devoted to Word World, and whenever we're on the road she's always reading letters on signs and asking what the signs say. With her new-found ...

Finding Nemo (or other fish) in Columbus
As a child I used to love when my mom had her weekly softball games only because it meant I got to go sit on the edge of the ball park and gaze into the stream flowing by. There were always lots of fish in the stream, and occasionally I'd throw bits of bread to them in an effort to get them to come closer. Watching the fish swim in the stream was probably one of the most peaceful moments of my ... Read more >

What To Do This Week: 8/18-8/24
Have you noticed that the number of activities in Columbus is down for August? I can only guess it's because everyone is focusing on back to school prep and therefore they think no one wants to do anything else. But there's still another week until most schools are back in session, so we need to find something fun to do!I found a few interesting activities for you and your kids to explore this ...

Day Trip For Some Old-Fashioned Ice Cream
Not only does Columbus have several locally owned ice cream companies, we also have another famous brand making their old-fashioned ice cream just a short drive away. In Utica, OH (Licking County), Velvet Ice Cream has their headquarters at an authentic 1800's mill, where they have been making ice cream since the early twentieth-century. The mill was selected as a symbol of Velvet's ... Read more >

Visit the #1 Science Center in the Country
Let's say that you wanted to take your kids to a children's science museum. But it can't just be any museum - you want to find the very best out there. How far do you have to travel? Do you need to visit one of the coasts, or find a larger city? If you believe the parents surveyed in Parents Magazine, you only need to travel downtown to find the best science center in the United States. ... Read more >

Keep Your Preschooler's Skin Safe From The Sun
As I said in yesterday's post, I spent my childhood summers outdoors at the pool each day. My mom always nagged me to put sunscreen on, but I often didn't. I never thought a sunburn or two (or more than a hundred, in my case) could have any long-term effect on my health. Now that I'm all grown-up, I've had to endure painful visits to the dermatologist where they cut off suspicious looking spots ... Read more >

Water Safety For Preschoolers
I was a fish as a child. I couldn't get enough of the water, and would spend all day, every day at the pool if allowed. I'd imagine I was a mermaid or an Olympic swimmer or sometimes a dolphin. My mom recognized my love of water early on and signed me up for swim lessons. I couldn't get enough of the pool, often going for lessons in the morning, then spending the entire afternoon swimming, ... Read more >

When In Doubt, Go To The Zoo
The Columbus Zoo is always my go-to resource whenever I need something to do with the kids. We have a membership, so we're there at least every couple of weeks. Which, by the way, if you visit the zoo more than twice a year, you should really save yourself some money and get the membership. Plus there are all kinds of extra benefits, like free parking, gift shop discounts, special event ... Read more >

Buried treasure
Yesterday I gave some ideas on how your preschooler can dress up and play pirate. But we all know the thing pirates want to do more than anything else in the world is search for buried treasure. Why not give in to your child's desire and put together your very own treasure hunt! First, you'll need to gather trinkets. You can either stop by a dollar store near you to pick up some treasures ... Read more >

Arrr, Maties! Be A Pirate For A Day
Thanks to a trilogy of Disney movies, pirates have become very popular again. OK, they were never unpopular, but I couldn't even count the number of pirate Halloween costumes I saw last year, including my own daughter. I've been told on more than one occasion that Cordy plans to be a pirate when she grows up. You may or may not be aware that September 19 is International Talk Like A ... Read more >

Seaside Crafts
Left to their own devices at the beach, little children invariably turn into collectors. It it is almost impossible to leave a beach without a pocketful of shells, rocks, seaglass, sand dollars and plain old sand too. But we can't really blame them. Where else can ...Read more >
