4. Go to the Museum—If you don’t already take family field trips, museums are a great place to start. Once you start looking, you may be delighted to learn just how many are within driving distance. Many museums offer free admission. Look them up on the Internet beforehand and see what exhibits they are showing so you can get prepared with a trip to the library or a little Wikipedia research. Some museum websites even offer teacher resources (which parents can easily use, too!) and may include printable materials, interactives, and other educational resources. Take a camera along to document the experience, then sit down with your child later and create a record book of your trips.
