alisoviejo.macaornikid.com

School is out for summer. After the initial joy wears off, kids around SoCal are circling mom and saying, "I'm Bored!" Many Moms quickly run to the computer to sign all the kid's up for various camps to stimulate,entertain, and exhaust their kids. However, many would be surprised to find out that there are many FREE activities and events in SoCal every day for kids of all ages. Local businesses such as Home Depot, the library, Pottery Barn, Scooters Jungle, etc host a once a week activity that is intended to entertain and educate--and many times the kids go home with something that they made! If you hit up every place that is offering a free activity daily, you can get your kids out of the house and keep them entertained all summer long---for FREE!! Now you can save all that money you would have paid for camp and take a little vacation..with or without your kids  :)

Take a look at the daily listings of events and activities in SoCal for kids at the Macaroni Kid Calendar. Macaroni Kid is a free e-newsletter and website devoted to sharing family events and activities in the Socal area. You can subscribe to the free e-newsletter by going to: alisoviejo.macaronikid.com
