Sometimes you can only take so many yoga breaths before you’ve had enough and need to find something to do with the fam after the presents are opened.
Thankfully, our sister publication, Little Rock Family, put together a list of nine things to do with the kids during winter break.
Here’s the lineup:
Saturday, Dec. 26
Santa may have come and gone, but if your family is still in the Christmas spirit, visit the Trail of Holiday Lights at Sherwood’s Enchanted Forest. It’s free to drive through the mile-long trail of lights that includes over 92 brightly-lit displays, but donations are accepted. The lights will be twinkle from 6-9:30 p.m. each night through Dec. 30. For more info, visit CityofSherwood.net orclick here to see our full guide to holiday lights.
Sunday, Dec. 27
If the weather is to your liking, drive west and spend the day at Pinnacle Mountain State Park! At 3 p.m. you can meet a park interpreter at the West Summit Trailhead to roast marshmallows and share nature stories—why does the opossum have a tail? Why does the owl hoot? For info, visitArkansasStateParks.com/PinnacleMountain.
Monday, Dec. 28
Get out of the house and learn about Heifer’s mission to fight world hunger during the free Holiday Break Fun Days at Heifer Village. Kids can explore the hands-on exhibits and make a craft each day, including Chinese Water Buffalo Lanterns (Dec. 28 & Jan. 2), Coffee Cup Sleeves (Dec. 29), Chicken Coups (Dec. 30) and Goat Ornaments (Dec. 31). 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Dec. Dec. 28-Jan 2, except Jan. 1. For more info, visit Heifer.org.
