Fun & Free Things to Do with LA Kids this Weekend: Play Together, Sand Castles, and Rocket Fever, Aug 16 - 17
Submitted by Toby B on
Now more than ever, the world needs to play. Whether you're already in academic mode or eking every last ounce of freedom out of summer vacation, the weekend is all yours. Some of you have been working the Summer of Play from the get go, but it's never too late to start. And I can think of no better way than the ultimate pop-up play attraction designed by Disney Imagineers, (perhaps you're familiar with some of their other work, such as a little spot called Disneyland.)
Whatever your back to school date, summer won't last forever. Like sands in the hourglass, so are the castles on our beach, so you best get to building. The Great Annual Sand Sculpture Contest lets you show your skill with a plastic shovel and bucket. Sand castles in the sand, baby; it's going to be legendary!
Need more inspiration? How about sea-faring robots? Scooby's birthday? A soul icon? We've got rocket revelry and mud madness, a hoe-down, a cleanup and music that goes boom. So much to do, and only two days to squeeze it into.
