Hi ladies - I have a 13 month old and we're looking for some ideas on places to go and things to do this Summer - mostly on the weekend. We're on a budget, and it's often just me, so if you have any fun ideas for a kiddo this small I'd appreciate it!

    My 13 month old loves Choo Choo Bobs train play area in St Paul. They have a free will donation box if you don't want to buy anything.

    Also, some of the libraries have children's play areasthe one in Roseville is great.

    Como Zoo, wild rumpus book store-they have animals that live there :) chutes and ladders playground (they also have water sprayers when it's hot out). I bought an inexpensive sprinkler attachment for my guy when he was that age and we would just play in the yard and he loved it. Also, I bought some fake colorful plastic fish that came with a little net, I put them in a cooler with a little bit of water and he played with it for hours. Have a great summer!

    I started a website last year to try to accumulate some places to go.  I've been a little behind of late, but just posted and hope to keep up a bit more.  The address is

    Libraries!! Take your little one to storytime. This is incredibly important for early literacy development.

    My 9 month old loves going to the library. Maplewood and Roseville have awesome play areas with lots of appropriate toys for little ones. It's a great place to spend a few hours.
