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.
