Play dates are opportunities for (cool) progeny readers to try out family-friendly places, products and local businesses. We can't wait to see you!

Treasure Map Play Date: BIG Kids Magazine has a call out. They want kids all over the world to create images inspired by treasure maps. Drawn, photographed, painted, built, folded, soldered or danced, real or wildly imagined. So we're partnering with our friends at aMuse Toys and Classic Play to create the ultimate Baltimore treasure map... with the help of area families! We'll be drawing/coloring/gluing up the fun on Saturday, January 28th from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM at aMuse Toys! More Information

Get up and MOVE Play Date: Our Get Up and Move Play Date took place on June 25, 201l.

We walked 3 miles in their annual Taking Steps walk (it's a leisurely walk, no training required!) and then played in Federal Hill (complete with food, music, games and fun!). More Information
