Make a Day of It

I love it when I find an entertaining activity to take my daughter too, but since most activities last less than an hour, that leaves me many more hours of the day to provide entertainment. I have a few "combo" trips I like to take her on that provide at least a morning or afternoon's worth of activity. Make a Day of It will be a regular feature for when we have new ideas that will provide more than 30 minutes of activity.

Wednesday Mornings
10:00 - Ridgmar Mall Play place to play (you can also explore the various fountains in the mall or ride the carousel)
11:00 - Build-a-Bear Workshop for the "Beary" Active Morning Toddler Time; this 30-minute time includes, flash cards with shapes and colors, singing, exercises, and games. Afterward kids receive a goody bag with stickers and sometimes a coloring book. You also get a Chick-Fil-A coupon good for a free kids meal with the purchase of an adult meal.
11:45 - Lunch at Chick-Fil-A with your coupon.

If you want to add a "mommy" element to this day of activity, get to the mall about 9:15 or 9:30 and walk around the top floor for some exercise. To keep my daughter happy, there is always a snack included and there is a lot of fun stuff to point out as you walk around the mall.
