Do you have children who aren’t in school yet? Are you looking for things to do? Healthy Kids playgroups will be adding kid’s yoga, instant pot mac ‘n cheese cooking and kid’s African drumming to the many activities offered at their weekly playgroups. Families attending those playgroups will be eligible to win a kid’s yoga mat, an instant pot and child’s African drum at those specific events.

Instant pot mac ’n cheese will be offered on Feb. 5 at the playgroup held in Wiscasset at the First Congregational Church, and on Feb. 25 at Healthy Kids offices in Damariscotta. Kids yoga will be held on Feb. 11 at Healthy Kids offices and Feb. 20 at the Boothbay Region YMCA. African Drumming will be held March 22nd in Waldoboro at the Methodist Church on Friendship Street and on March 25 at Healthy Kids offices in Damariscotta. All playgroups are 10 a.m. to noon and are free.

These activities foster healthy ways to use one’s body and relax, healthy ways to cook and rhythm/music activities that foster brain development. The yoga class will follow the very kid friendly Cosmic Kids Yoga. Parents and children can do as much or as little as they feel comfortable doing during all of these activities, while talking with other parents and playing with other children. There are many other activities such as crafts, dance parties and balloon fun scheduled at each playgroup site and all playgroups are held weekly.
