Grab & Go Kids Planner: Storytimes and Elmo's Birthday

We made it easy for you to entertain the kids this weekend

Glad you clicked on our Grab & Go Kids Planner!

We've assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to try out with children.

Each week, we'll give you the info on the five or more best family activities and events for the week.

You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.

Look for the kids planner each Wednesday, and help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips — just add them to the comment box. If you disagree with our picks, let us know. We want to hear from you.
