Storytimes

I haven't been to the local storytime at my library in a long time! Now that my 5 and 8 year olds are in school, I think it's time to take my 2 year old to the libary for it. He loves me to read to him so I think he'll like it. Here's a listing of local library storytimes & events:

Carver Library
Halifax Library
Pembroke Library
Plympton Library
Hanson Library
Kingston Library
Plymouth Library

The storytimes are held on lots of different days so you could hit them all in a week if you're looking for things to do with the little ones!

A new look!

South Shore Kids has a new look! Now that 2 of my 3 kids are in school, I have a little extra time to update the blog and wanted to go with a new look. What do you think??

And....If you are a local mom with a local blog, email me and I'll you to my blogroll! Also, if you are a local mom and want to be a contributor to South Shore Kids, let me know! You could contribute anything...favorite parks, beaches, stores, ANYTHING that you like to do with your kids!

Sauchuk Farm Corn Maze

Sauchuk Farm is doing their corn maze once again just off Center Street in Plympton. This years maze features 3 jack o lanterns and looks pretty cool! It's bigger than last years maze and they say there will be more family fun activities as well such as: hayrides, face painting, a cow train ride, corn box and a pumpkin patch.

You can visit the maze on weekends from 10-5 through October 26. Admission is $13 for 13+, $6 for ages 4-12 and 3 and under is free. You can even print a coupon from their website here.
