UltimateMama and her family are sizzlin’ in NYC these days.  With record setting high temperatures in the tri-state region families are searching for ways to BEAT THE HEAT! 

UltimateMama offers up a few ideas for family friendly summer indoor activities:

– Visit your local library and engage in storytime with your children (hey, it is air conditioned and books are free!)

– Go to your local craft store or art studio and paint with the kids.  Or, if you are in NYC visit Scribble Press and create a book or a bookmark!

– Take the family to a museum.  NYC’s Museum of Modern Art or MOMA has a fun Shape Lab that all will enjoy!

– See a play or puppet show.  Manhattan’s Central Park has a wonderful Swedish Cottage complete with a Marionette Theater. Just remember to buy tickets ahead of time!
