Free Things To Do With Your Kids

Here are four completely free things stay at home moms can do with your kids right now! Keep reading for even more kid activities too!

1. Go to your local library

You don’t need a library card or a membership to go to the library. And most libraries host a weekly story hour for specific age groups. A lot even have a children’s section with toys, games, and computers allowing you to spend the morning there for….FREE! This is one of our favorite things to do! We’ve actually dubbed Friday, “Library Fridays.” We go for a one hour story hour then afterward the kids play with legos, the train set, or color. The list goes though…there’s SO much to do!

2. Go to a local playground/splash pad

Playgrounds are everywhere. Check your Google maps if you can’t find one and I’m sure you will find something nearby. There are usually other kids to play with and it’s a great way to get some fresh air and exercise. During the warmer months splash pads are a fun way to cool off if you don’t have access to a pool, or the beach seems too daunting.

3. Go to a Pet Store

I know this one sounds INSANE. But my kids LOVE going to PetSmart and just looking at the fish, hamsters, birds, and did I mention the fish!? LOL. I even had a worker tell me one day that parents bring their kids in all the time just to look at the fish. So that made me feel a little less weird. But honestly, my kids could spend an afternoon their if I would let them! It’s not typically a busy place either, so I don’t feel too bad letting my kids run down the aisles. 😉

4. Find some trails/rail trails

Lots of state/local parks have walking trails you can go to. It’s a great way to go on a nature walk and explore with your kids, while getting some exercise and outdoor time. Rail trails seem to be everywhere now too, and are usually paved which makes for great strollers walks!
