Moms Talk Q&A: Combatting Spring Break Boredom

Welcome to this spring break edition of Moms Talk Q&A!

While many families use spring break to take a vacation or visit family for the Easter holiday, not everybody leaves town. Some children take spring break sports or academic camps or participate in fun day camps.

Many families that stick around during spring break have to find ways to keep children busy and entertained. Herndon Moms Council member Barbara Welsh said she has been trying to come up with stay-cation ideas to keep her children amused and entertained.

“I was hoping for nicer weather, and was going to try and take the kids to Clemyjontri Park, perhaps the science center for the day in Baltimore, or even just a matinee movie, but we’ve done these things before and would love some suggestions on things to do that we still have not,” Welsh said.

So we want to know—how have you been keeping your children entertained during spring break? Do you have any stay-cation suggestions to do with kids? What do you do when they get bored at home?
