What to do with Kids

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

In light of  the cancellation of the Oak and the Iris singalongs and the closing of Vox Pop, which offered a few different activities for kids, plus cutbacks in the storytime schedule at the Cortelyou Road library, more than a few neighbors are asking what parents are doing for free/low-cost activities within walking distance of our neighborhood. With older siblings off to school in a few days, the little ones will be lonely. After school activities for the big kids?

Namaste Yoga on the corner of Church and CIA offers parent/baby yoga for infants and toddlers on Tuesday mornings, same time as Midwood Martial Arts hosts free play (Tuesdays 10:45am) for toddlers, more info here. There are also a number of mommy/nanny groups that organize play-dates around the neighborhood, mostly by age – if folks could share the contact info, I’d be grateful.

Please post in the comments section!
