Every week, Macaroni KID Madison highlights free/low-cost ideas to do with kids in the Madison area in addition to the events and family-friendly ideas in our newsletter. This week, the Film Fest continues, and we're excited for:

  1. Just Between Friends Sale. Thursday-Saturday at a huge east side space, Dane County's largest consignment sale has everything you need, and a scavenger hunt to keep the mobile kids active. For a smaller scale sale, the Lil Badger sale in Monona is a great option too Friday-Sunday
  2. Friday Fun. Stay active Friday evening at at open gym for the Week of the Child in Sun Prairie, a family fun night at Warner Park, or watch others being active at Madison Circus "Kishka!" show.
  3. UW Engineering ExpoSaturday on campus come for tons of free hands-on demonstrations and STEM learning.
  4. 9 in 9 Out Expo. Expecting, new, and experienced parents can find tons of local resources - and some fun activities
