Tap Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 1. Since dd2 came along, field trips have dwindled. I need some new ideas. 2. What field trips have you found successful with a toddler, or strategies have made it more successful? (aside from hiring a sitter :0) ) 3. How do you keep inspired to take the youngest kids to the same places you already visited before with the older kids? Especially places like the Zoo, that don't change much year to year. 4. What kind of trips have you found worth traveling for? 5. Any other ideas, suggestions, advice appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Have you done any of the Junior Ranger programs at your local parks? Your 4th grader would probably like them--and the other two could tag along. Being outside is easy with littles, I think (esp only 1). What about farms, picking strawberries, outdoor museums and the like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't know what's in your area... But, for us, a trip to the city to visit "China Town" or some area that is more authentically cultural. If I did this with a young one, I'd definately use a stroller. But walking the streets of a cultural area (where we go is relatively safe! sounds so funny to say that!) is such an experience. There are lots of tucked in/side street/hole in the wall places with so much to learn. But, that's not everyone's cuppa... Outside of the routines, like a zoo or museum, we're more of "activity" oriented... hit the parks, play tennis, frisbee tag, hiking, heading to snow or heading to the beach...
