May Offers Fun for Houston Kids


This time of year, there's so much to do in Houston. If you're looking for fun activities for kids, here are some great ideas for this weekend.


May 6 – 7: Get a sneak peak at some of the wild - wheeled animal -inspired Art Cars that will roll in Everyones Art Car Parade this weekend at the Houston Zoo. The Zoo's address is 1513 N Mc Gregor. The cool penguin mobile home, Ant-CAR-tica, Rancha, the Zebra, the Tiger Jeep, The Roachster and other animal oriented cars will excite the Zoo crowds this weekend. Next week, I'll share more info on the Art Car Parade that will be held on Saturday, May 13 at 1 pm on Allen Parkway. Mark your calendars for my favorite event of the month.

School is almost out. What will you do this summer with the kids? Grab Your Copy of 100+ Activities for Houston Kids by Houston native & mom Megan F. Salch. This guidebook shares OBJECTIVE reviews of tons of fun kids activities. If I didn't think the activity was worthwhile, it's not included in this guide. Trust me. I left plenty crummy activities out. This makes a great Mother's Day gift (note: May 14) for moms and grandmothers in the greater Houston area. Order a copy at www.TellYourTale.com/Kids, visit a local bookstore or join me at any of the upcoming book fairs in town. I love talking with parents and grandparents about fun things they can do together with their kids. There's no substitute for family time.
