The winter blues are long gone, but don’t underestimate the burden of summer boredom.
Playing with your baby may not seem like much more than a fun fest, when, say, they coo at their rattle or try their hands at stacking ‘donuts.’ But make no mistake. What looks like downtime to us is work to little ones – and toys are the tools for getting the job done.
Welcome to CALGARY ON THE CHEAP – the new column that will highlight the best steals and deals for families on a budget. In each issue, you’ll get to find out where you can go and what you can do as a family without breaking the bank.
