A Free, Fun Activity in Broadview for Kids

It’s another rainy day.  You’ve taken your 2 year old to the zoo.  You’ve been to the aquarium.  What else is there in Broadview that is close, and more importantly, free?  Welcome to Wonderland.  The Planned Learned Network (Wonderland) holds a free playgroup called Kaleidoscope for children ages 18 months to 5 years old at the Broadview Library Wednesdays from 10:30am – 11:30am.  They have felt boards, play doh, arts and crafts, balls, puzzles, and an instructor who informally runs the playgroup.  My daughter didn’t want to leave when it was time to go!  She had already met a friend after playing for 10 minutes.

This is great service that the Seattle public library offers to neighborhood families.  Most of the children in attendance were around 2 years old.  This group gives us another alternative on Wednesdays without having to commit every week.   With the economy in the state it is, it’s also nice to have a ‘free’ option.  Plus, I like seeing my 2 year old play with other kids her age instead of always having to play with her sister’s friends.   Check out the library’s website www.spl.org for more scheduling information.
