Parent’s Talk: Finding Activities for Kids During Winter Break

The winter break hiatus from school is coming up soon for kids. How will you embrace the break?

I’m assuming most youth attending school – from elementary to high school – are ready and waiting anxiously for the upcoming winter break.

While kids of all ages tend to look forward to a break from school, sometimes it can be a little challenging for parents. From finding alternate daycare to combating the “there is nothing to do” phrase or just being the sole source of transportation, winter break from school can be both a blessing and a curse for parents.

This week, we’re asking parents to help out each other this holiday season.

SHARE: What ideas do you have for kids and families to do during winter break? What are your favorite “go to” places in the winter months? How do you handle daycare challenges? Share your ideas and thoughts in comments below! Have great photos from a winter destination you enjoy with the kids? Upload them!

Have you heard about the new indoor playground and family recreation park coming to Eagan? It's called Good Times Park! There will be over 25,000 square feet of space to play. It won't be open in time for the winter school break, but it will be open for spring break. Stay tuned to www.goodtimespark.com for more information! The founder is a Lakeville parent!
