Free Fun Is Getting Done: Your MacKID Event Picks This Week

All your family fun Jan. 3 - 9

By Macaroni KID December 31, 2023

January calls for free events to help our wallets recover from the holidays. This week we're serving up a menu of free fun for the kids that will save your sanity and budget. Here's what you don't want to miss January 3-9:

1. Natural Disasters and What to Do

It never hurts to be prepared and this virtual workshop will teach kids how to ride seismic waves, sail through fierce floods, and generally stay calm in the chaos.  Jan. 4

2. Discover Shapes in Nature

It takes all shapes and sizes to make the world go round. Introduce your curious kiddos to the shapes that keep popping up in nature and participate in an experiment. No lab needed, just soap and water so it doubles as a bath, right? Jan. 5

5. Celebrate the New Year with Little Movers Storytime
