Not sure where to start? Think local! There are many free, exciting indoor and outdoor options that are fun for the whole family right around your neighborhood.
On days where the weather is nice, try soaking in Maryland’s famous scenery. Getting enough fun in the sun is great for your health and boosts your vitamin D supply.
· Visit a nearby park or hiking trail
· Plant your own fruits and veggies
· Take the family to the local farmer’s market
· Jump through the sprinkler in your backyard
Find ways to stay cool when it’s hot outside. Check for specials or free events going on in your area now and during the summer. These are great places to take your child:
· Museums or art galleries
· Indoor exhibits at the Zoo
· Trade fairs
· Window shopping at the mall
Prefer to stay at home? Try indoor games such as:
· Hide-n-seek
· Tag
· Hop scotch
· Dance Party
You’re sure to break a sweat, so it’s important to stay hydrated. Pack a reusable water bottle and drink up every chance you get. Whether it’s from the tap at home or from the public water fountain, free water refills are just around the corner!
