School ended last week, which means summer has officially started. This can be both a blessing and curse with having kids at home, but we have some ideas that can help you and them stay sane over the next few months.
A good way to keep kids engaged over the summer is to visit the Columbus Public Library. Not only do they have a selection of amazing books to choose from, but they also have a variety of activities to keep the entire family engaged.
Whether you have a young child, a tween, or a young adult, there is something for everyone. Check their calendar often this summer for fun happenings for the entire family!
In addition to checking out the local library, you also might spend some time at the Columbus Area Children’s Museum--as they are both in the same building!
Some of the exhibits you can engage with here include Kidstown, Farm Adventure, the Loup River Water Table, and a Sensory Room, among others.

According to the website, “The Columbus Area Children’s Museum is a wonderland of learning disguised as fun. CACM’s exhibits lets kid’s imaginations soar as they roleplay in shops and adventures mirroring those found in Columbus, sparking an understanding of community and commerce.”
