Don't let inclement weather this season ruin your weekend plans — just alter them! Staying in is sometimes a good back-up plan, and sometimes it's the only option. Luckily, there are lots of weekend programs that can inspire indoor fun. If you're out and about each weekend, it's likely that your children don't often get a chance to see Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, Angelina Ballerina, Maya and Miguel or Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures — all programs that air only on weekend mornings.
Children can learn about themselves, others, and the world around them with Mr. Rogers' neighborly advice. Next, they will get in motion with Angelina Ballerina, who encourages interactive dancing. Learn with them about diverse cultures, traditions and perspectives with Maya and Miguel. And for your transitioning kindergartener, don't miss Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures. Each of these programs inspires curiosity and cam generate ideas for a fun-filled day!
DO
