Around the World

Fun and easy activities for raising global kids! Our site features a large resource of kids activities about the world. Through recipes, art, books and more explore the world with your child in your home.

We believe in the power of raising globally aware children and we make a point to allow our children to experience other cultures with food, art, crafts, music, geography, presentations, and more. 

In addition to raising globally aware children, both of our families have chosen to raise our children to be bilingual speakers of another language.
