Lee's Summit: Downtown Days

'Tis the season of summer festivals! If you're looking for something to do with the kids this weekend, why not venture to Lee's Summit for Downtown Days? With a carnival, a car show (for big and small boys!), and two concert stages, there will be fun for everyone.

From an educational standpoint, community festivals offer a rich learning environment for your child. The various musical styles expose your child to new sounds and melodies. Buying carnival tickets and deciding how to spend them offers a chance to practice counting and problem solving skills. After the event, your child can practice comprehension skills by recalling and telling stories about his/her favorite part of the day. Best of all, it's fun and inexpensive.

While you're there, visit the talented ladies of www.butterbuggs.com. They have a wonderful assortment of handmade items for moms and kids. They are also the creators of Miss Heather's favorite jewelry--- a photo necklace of her son, Ben.

Ready to go? Visit the Downtown Days Website for more details.

Lee's Summit Downtown Days
Friday (June 5): Noon-10pm
Saturday (June 6): 10am-10pm

True Love

I've often mentioned that the reason I teach piano and Kindermusik is to instill a lifetime love of music in each of my students. This video proves that it can be accomplished!!

Summer Fun

Has it hit you yet? That "oh-my-goodness-all-our-spring-activities-are-over-what-are-we-going-to-do-now" feeling? As I wrap end of the year teacher gifts and days of preschool turn into special activities and programs, I'm feeling it. I find that my idea of doing nothing lasts about 2 days and then I am desperate to get Ben enrolled in something---anything--- again.

Here are few ideas to get you started. Some are multiple weeks, some are a one time experience. If you have others, please post as a comment!

* Kindermusik Summer Camps: Our 5-week summer session begins June 13th. Click here for the details: http://www.injoymusic.com/adventures.html. Enroll soon to ensure you'll have home materials on the first day of class.

* Jiggle Jam: Think of it as Lollapalooza for kids. This family fun fest attracts some of the hottest acts in kids' music (and, Kindermusik will be there, too!) including They Might Be Giants, Dan Zannes, Funky Mama, and Mr. Stinky Feet (plus many more). We hope to see you May 23rd and 24th! http://www.kcjigglejam.com/.

* Kidtivities at The Learning Tree: What a great idea! Visit the Corinth location of everyone's favorite toy store, The Learning Tree, for a summer of fun activities. For only $10 a session, this is the best bargain for summer fun. Create a garden stone, dig for dinosaur bones, create mosaics, and more! Call the Corinth store for details: (913) 385-1234.

* Public Library Programs: Check out the local library for summer programs. Don't forget to sign up for a summer reading program (or a "read to me" program). It's a fun way to add a little learning in your summer routine. http://www.jocolibrary.org/ (Johnson County Libraries) / http://www.kclibrary.org/ (Kansas City Public Libraries).

What else are you doing this summer?
