Editor's Note

By Kim McNeill April 5, 2012

- I've been very busy lately. I'm volunteering with the Woodbury Earth Day committee arranging children's activities. I'm also working for a local non-profit doing their social media.  I am relying on my calendar a lot. Do you have any hints for how to keep a lot of balls in the air? I could use some ideas! 

Kettledrum Farm in Southbury has a special offer just for Macaroni Kid readers: a $25 discount on their summer camp program when you sign up before April 30th and tell them you heard about them on Macaroni Kid!

- From 7 to 9 pm on Friday evening, your middle schooler can enjoy a night just for themselves (parents can stay in the parent lounge with free Wi-Fi or drop off) at Fun Factor's Laser Light Party only for middle schoolers.

- Find the fun for Easter this year: 2012 Easter Activities. For some Easter ideas, try: natural egg dying, experiment with textures and egg-shapes, make a bird's nest, make a car for the Easter Bunny, and learn some fun egg facts.

- Learn about Passover if you don't celebrate it, make some yummy Matzah pizza and a matzah cover.

- Giveaways! We have FOUR sweepstakes to enter! Enter them all!

- Check this weekend's calendar of events, where there are many, many kid friendly activities and events to do.

Some highlights:

Friday: In the morning, get free (for a food donation) pictures with the Easter Bunny at Ritz Camera at the Southbury Plaza, in the evening, a laser light party just for middle schoolers at Fun Factor in Middlebury.

Saturday: There are a number of Easter-related events, and you can visit with the Llama Llama character at Linda's Story time in Monroe.

Sunday: Time to visit the park, play board games, and have fun!
