Five things to do with your kids: Oct. 4-10

By Michelle | Friday, October 3, 2008, 06:35 PM

Looking for things to do this weekend or the rest of the week? Here are five ideas for fun with the little ones.

1. Get into the Boonshoft for free on Oct. 5: That’s right. From noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5, Dayton’s Boonshoft Museum of Discovery will welcome one and all to its celebration of 50 years at the Ridge Avenue location. Admission is free, and a day of programming, shows and entertainment has been planned for those who knew the Boonshoft when it was the Dayton Society of Natural History, and those who are relatively new acquaintances.

2. Enjoy some family peace time at peace museum: Children and caregivers enjoy cultural events, crafts, games, music and more during Family Peace Time, 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, Dayton International Peace Museum, 208 W. Monument Ave., Dayton. (937) 227-3223.

3. Get in the Halloween spirit: During Halloween window painting and monster BINGO, children ages 6-12 can play monster bingo, create a Halloween craft and more, 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7, Payne Recreation Center, 3800 Main St., Moraine. $1. (937) 535-1060.

4. Enjoy the fall with your baby. If you’re a stay-at-home mom or have the day off Oct. 8, treat your baby to some fresh, fall air while exploring leaves during Backpacking Babies, 10-11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, Sugarcreek MetroPark, 4178 Conference Road, Bellbrook. Free. (937) 438-5569. www.metroparks.org

5. Spiders aren’t all that bad: Learn with a story, craft and a spider safari in the park all about spiders just in time for Halloween, 1-2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at Eastwood MetroPark, 1385 Harshman Road, Dayton; meet at last parking lot. Free. (937) 278-2623. www.metroparks.org. Reservations required.
