The summer can be a treacherous time for parents, trying to find numerous
activities to keep the little ones entertained. It’s long, it’s hot and it
seems ever-so-expensive all the time as well. So what is going on in the
Kensington, Brooklyn neighborhood that is good for kids? What are the best hangout places offering
airconditioning and a cup of coffee for parents to ease the summer vacation
pain? Here we take a brief look at some
options.
Metro Parents offers a Daily Events listing of
great things to do with kids that are cheap or completely free. You can join events like the free info
session on the upcoming African Diaspora’s summer camp in July. For those wanting to send their kids there,
between July 9 to 20th, your children will be traveling through the
wonders of Africa and its cultures, through movement, song and crafts. The Hakuna Matata: Kings, Lions and Other
African Wonders is a fantastic opportunity for kids aged between 3 and 7.
Later on in the summer is the Singing Frogs and Talking Fish: Diving
Through the Caribbean Sea. Between July
23 to August 3, kids will enjoy frolicking through the Caribbean Sea through
music, movement, drum-making and so much more!
Tomorrow you can check out the weekly Drop-In Art, Poems and Stories
for kids aged 6 to 9 at Park Slope. The
participants get to read a book and then make a craft out of it. Fun for all, no need for advanced booking and
$15 fee.
