Known and loved for its totally unique shop/play hybrid model, CAMP is bringing a whole new level of family fun to Greater Boston with a combined toy store and play space in the Burlington Mall. The Grand Opening on Saturday, February 5, unveiled the immersive Paw Patrol Experience–an interactive and guided adventure for children that kicks off a series of themed events that will rotate through the location–alongside a seriously curated kid-friendly shopping experience.

I had the opportunity to bring my wife and son to take part in the opening day festivities and, after experiencing CAMP ourselves, I’m confident this new location will be fulfilling its mission to answer the oh-so-popular parenting question, “what are we going to do today?”

Pretty much everything farm related makes me sneeze.  And itch.  And cough.  But in spite of my immune system's obvious distaste for all things farm related, I cannot help it…I love visiting area farms this time of year to see all the new, ADORABLE, animals that have been born.  And I'm guessing I'm not the only one!  Pick a beautiful day, and head out to visit some of Fairfield County’s newest -- and furriest -- residents at some of the following locations.

Playgrounds for toddlers in Atlanta mean smaller slides, lower ladders, and bucket swings. (And if it has a perimeter fence to secure toddler escape artists, even better.) We're lucky to have gorgeous parks and playgrounds in Atlanta, as well as green space galore right in the heart of the city. Many of these parks offer playgrounds with slides, rope courses, swings, even a splash pad; but if you have toddlers, parents need to be more playground particular. That's why we have scoured Atlanta for toddler playgrounds that suit the under-three set.

Westchester is home to a host of art studios and crafts centers, many of which offer drop-in sessions for kids and families, either daily or on the weekends.

Here, we’ve rounded up seven such art studios that give kids a chance to try pottery painting, candle making, glass fusing, and much more. While the pandemic might have altered some operations, many of these crafty spots offer socially distant table reservations, plus take-home kits so your kids can get creative at home.
