Question :
My (soon to be kindergarten) daughter's in camp through lunchtime, but we're looking to fill up the rest of the day ... (she also has a baby brother).
Also, any good suggestions for afternoon drop-in activities this summer? Outdoor classes? Puppet shows? Things like that?
This mom needs a break from the playground ;)
Answers:
The New York City Youth Guide to Summer Fun is Available. The guide is a broad citywide calendar of family-oriented events and resources published annually by DYCD .
This link will direct you as to what week you wish to download. (rather than downloading the entire book.)

Usually these are all free activites or very low cost.
