Winter will be settling in soon and parents will be looking for fun activities for the children. Here are just a few things to do in the area to save you from “Cabin fever” this winter. Let me know if you have any additions to this small list, I’ll happily post them for all to enjoy!

Color Me Mine

This is an art studio that stocks clay pots, mugs, plates, and any number of figurines, along with glazes and brushes. Kids and adults paint their selection. There is a work area in which to create a masterpiece, and the studio will then fire the creations and have them ready for pick-up. Also features a “Design a Bear” outlet where kids can design their own animal.

Newtown Library
Visit the happy kid’s area; borrow books and tapes, and come to the weekly pre-school story time and special events. The library often hosts bedtime story times for toddlers and pre-schools-come in your pajamas!

Parry Mansion – Guided tours of this 18th century home illustrate the lifestyles of five generations of the Parry family. Artwork and furnishings reflect 125 years of decorative change from 1775 to 1900.

Relax and leave your cares behind as you journey into history, learning what rail travel was like for your parents, grand parents and great-grand parents. Behold the continuously changing view as the train traverses through the rolling hills and valleys of historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
