4S Library - FREE activity

The 4S Library hosts "Play to Learn" on Wednesdays from 1 to 2 pm.  Babies and toddlers can explore the various play stations, such as puzzles, Play-Doh, and puppets. 

Kendo likes to play with the kinetic sand.   In the background, there is also a container of colorful rice kernels with funnels and scoops.  A little messy, but everyone helps to clean up during the last 5 minutes.

Kendo also likes to play with the train set.  Behind him, there are large beads which can be strung together.  It helps build eye-hand coordination!

They also host a variety of other activities for babies/toddlers, older kids, and adults throughout the week.  Check out their website for more info!

It's also great because it's right next to 4S Commons Town Center, so you can get groceries at Ralphs or Jimbo's, get beauty products at Ulta, or eat at one of the many restaurants.

SeaWorld San Diego - FREE Preschool & Teacher Fun Cards

My husband and I recently took our son and other family members to SeaWorld.

Explorer's Reef was a big hit!  As you enter the park, you are greeted by several large pools.  You can reach in and touch cleaner fish and bamboo sharks!

Kendo absolutely loved seeing all the different the animals.  Dolphin Point offers a chance to interact with dolphins.  For an additional fee, SeaWorld offers two programs for a special experience.  You can interact with the dolphins while in the water (Dolphin Interaction Program) or without getting into the water (Dolphin Encounter).

We were lucky enough to see some flamingos walk through the park.  What a neat surprise!

What's a visit without a water ride on a hot day?  We were soaking wet after Shipwreck Rapids, but it was fun.  You need to be at least 48 inches tall to ride or at least 42 inches if you ride with a supervising companion.  Younger kids will enjoy the Sesame Street Bay of Play.  It has more family friendly rides, a small water play area, and lots of room to climb, bounce, and run around.

Kids who are 2 or under always receive free admission, but did you know they also offer a free Preschool Fun Card for kids who are 3-5 and residents of San Diego or Orange County?  Hurry though, you need to register online by March 13, 2016 and redeem at the park by March 20, 2016.
https://seaworldparks.com/seaworld-sandiego/pages/preschool-pass

Teachers can also receive a free fun card and 3 tickets for guests.  You need to register online and redeem at the park by June 30, 2016.
