Summer Reading Extravaganza

Okay, this even is on a Sunday, but it is so much fun to go to 

(it's free family fun, so it is not that much worse than going to a park... is it? *sigh*)

Anyway, if you can free your conscience enough to go, do it.

So, mark your calendars and head on over to Schenley Plaza for loads of fun (and FREE stuff!!!)

Three Rivers Arts Festival

The Three Rivers Arts Festival is almost here! It runs June 3rd- 12th in downtown Pittsburgh (including the Point). They have all sorts of films, galleries, concerts and other performances and a great (at least it has been before) kids area. This year the Creativity Zone (kids area) features Seuss themed activities on the weekends, building of a plastic castle, launching paint-filled rockets at a canvas (how cool is that?), and lots of different crafts and other creative things for the kids to do. And best of all - it's all FREE!

You can get all the additional information you want from their website here.

PIC Festival Reminder

Remember THIS post?

This is just a reminder that the festival is THIS weekend.

Wednesday, May 11th thru Sunday, May 15th

HERE is the website again for more information.

Mothers day crafts

**I added one more**

There are a few events this weekend (all Saturday) where your child(ren) can make a Mother's day craft/gift for free.

The first is at Lowes this Saturday at 10am where your child can make a heart vase at their build-n-grow clinic. Go here to register. (Side note, recommend ages for these clinics is usually 1st to 5th grade, though that is just recommended...)

The second is at Jo-Ann (all Jo-Ann stores) also this Saturday May 7th from 11am to 1 pm where your child can make a card and envelope using Martha Stewart papercrafting supplies and paint a colorful garden stake.

The third is at home depot where from 9am to noon your child (recommended age is 5 to 12) can make a tulip planter. Home depot has these kids workshops on the first saturday of every month. Looks like they've got a Father's day gift going for the June one...

Also a reminder that National public gardens day is this friday May 6th (free Phipps).
