Not sure what to do with the kids during the holiday break? Here are some of our top picks part 2:
Norton Simon Museum Arts & Crafts
There is a whole vacation's worth of cool arts & crafts projects all in one place! Tag us if you try one. I guarantee we will be doing these this week. Find them here.
Myths and Legends
This podcast offers weekly stories from around the world and throughout the ages. It's a fun listen with 288 weekly podcasts available for free on their website. Not all stories are appropriate for younger children. There is a disclaimer at the start. Start listening here.
Petersen Automotive Museum
I love old cars. This museum has something for everyone. Watch a 2 hour private video tour of the museum with the COO describing the entire collection! Or you can start at my favorite section here - the donated collection of James Hetfield of Metallica fame. Or just enjoy the many activities, from word searches to DIY balloon cars, found here.
British Museum's World History Tour
I may have posted this before. It never grows old. If you haven't played with this, think virtual Timeline (the card game) only even cooler...Enjoy one of my favorite procrastination/learning/diversions here.
Until December 31st, we are offering our best deals of the year. Check them out here:
