In today's economy, everyone is cutting back to save money. One of the first places that we look to make cuts is entertainment. Movies, video games, museums, and family vacations may be out of the question for you this year, but cutting costs doesn't have to mean cutting fun. If you take a look around, there are things you can do that will be fun for the kids and kind to your wallet.
1. A nature walk at your local park. Instead of going to the park just for the playground, walk the nature trails. You can pretend to be explorers and discover all the different plants and flowers you see. Or if you plan ahead, you can create a scavenger hunt of sorts by having the kids look for certain types of foliage or insects. The one who finds the most things wins.

2. Story time at the public library. Check with your local library. Most of them have story times where kids can come in to listen to stories. Some even have free puppet shows.
3. Home Depot Kids Workshops. Every month Home Depot sponsors a kids workshop. Kids are given a small project to build anything from a little train to a message board. All ages are welcome and all the materials for the project are free. Kids even get a Home Depot apron to keep as well as a certificate and pin for completing the project.
All of these activities are fun for the kids and free for you. You don't have to go far and these are activities your kids will enjoy again and again. There are probably many other free activities that your town has to offer. You just have to look for them and think a bit creatively.
