\"Spring<\/figure>

Looking for a way to take the family on vacation without the hassle (and cost!) of travel? \u00a0Plan a staycation this year! Take advantage of the sites and activities available in your own town this year. \u00a0Your preschoolers will love getting to enjoy the local attractions that are just a short drive from home! Here are seven themes and activities for planning your next family staycation:<\/span><\/p>\n

Animals: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Visit the aquarium, zoo, pet store, or a local petting zoo (or all of them) to give your preschoolers the chance to see many different animals in their natural habitats. \u00a0Talk about animals that live in the water versus animals that live on land and what makes them different!<\/span><\/p>\n

Water: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Make a special trip to an indoor water park or pool. \u00a0Take advantage of splash pads in the park! Live within driving distance of a beach? \u00a0Pack a lunch and take your sand toys to spend the day making sand castles and picking up seashells.<\/span><\/p>\n

Museums: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Discover a new museum by visiting prehistoric dinosaurs, a travel or train museum, learn about history, or find free kids\u2019 activities at an art museum. \u00a0Your preschoolers will have fun and will learn a little along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n

Parks: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Pack a blanket and picnic lunch, try out new food trucks, run out energy on the playground, or put together a nature scavenger hunt!<\/span><\/p>\n

Books: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Visit the library or a book store to pick out new books for the week. \u00a0Encourage your child to journal about their week, or write your own story!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiking: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Make a stop at a specialty store for hiking supplies, discover new trails in your city\u2019s parks or a nearby national park. \u00a0Go camping in your backyard and be sure to make your own trail mix for the trip!<\/span><\/p>\n

Movies: <\/span><\/h4>\n

Book tickets for a matinee movie or watch a play at your children\u2019s theater. \u00a0Help your preschoolers write and act out their own play! Since days are getting longer, make plans to visit a drive-in movie theater!<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have so much fun with your family with these great staycation ideas!<\/span><\/p>\n
