We're hosting 2 Camp Fairs this weekend! 
On Saturday, March 2 at Gramercy Arts High School and on Sunday, March 3 at Tribeca BMCC, parents and children get the chance to meet both local and out-of-city day camp representatives and get a head start on planning a wonderful, enriching summer. Don't forget to register!

We could all use the excuse to unplug on the weekend. For some low-tech family fun, check out these 12 board and card games that we handpicked with the help of the toy experts at local boutiques Gift Hero, Mary Arnold Toys, and Dinosaur Hill!

Contests & Giveaways
Grammy-nominated kids' musician Justin Roberts has a new CD,
"Lullaby," that could rock almost any little one to sleep. And we've teamed up with TLB Music to give away 5 copies! To enter the contest, click here.
