Grab & Go Kids Planner

The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch has once again assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and places to try out with children.

Each week, we'll give you the info on the five best family activities or events for the week.

You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.

Look for the Grab & Go Kids Planner every week and help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips. Just add them to the comments box below! Even if you disagree with our picks, please tell us. We want to hear from you!
