A new reality is here...almost a virtual reality! April 2020, it seems, will be done mostly in isolation. We will be with our kids, in our houses, backyards, and Internet! Macaroni Kid New Orleans created a special Click and Find Activities Calendar for you to celebrate national holidays with your kids. We can't go to Jazz Fest or public Crawfish Boils, but we can celebrate and have fun quality time with our kids.
How does it work?
- Click on the calendar to open the pdf

You'll find hands on activities for each holiday. Some have links to videos to do with your kids, science experiments, art, or cooking projects.
EVEN MORE! We are collecting Virtual Classes for free or discounted prices your kids can do online while at home. See our local clients who are providing these wonderful services below the calendar!
