The Cure for "Mom I'm Bored"

Figuring out what activities your child will take to can be tough. You don’t want to pay an arm and a leg to try out numerous activities but you don’t want them to be bored. So what’s a parent to do?

Enter JumpIt pass. (www.jumpitpass.com) What is the JumpIt pass? It’s a pass that allows your child to jump around to the best activities in your neighborhood. Priced at just $99 a month families can discover and schedule classes at over 100 local venues offering classes for children ages 0-10.

This week at JumpIt Pass it is a busy holiday week with schools, preschools and daycares headed for winter break. Luckily, there are still lots of fun activities to enjoy.

Monday:
Tippi Toes Dance DC (ages 18 mo - 3 yrs). From magic wands, tiaras and glitter to exciting music and the sweetest instructors, this mommy and me class introduces movement, balance and the basic dance steps in a fun and friendly way.

Tuesday:
Art Works (ages 5 yrs - 6 yrs). Perfect for kids who wish to develop or strengthen their artistic abilities, kids love this art class! They work with mediums ranging from pastels, watercolor, charcoal sketching, and oil paints while expanding their imagination.

Wednesday:
My Gym Bethesda Tiny Tykes/Waddlers (ages 6 mo - 22 mo). The stimulating class introduces balancing, tumbling, hanging and agility skills and helps to develop a love of physical activity and a sense of pride. The state-of-the-art facility and extensively trained staff make this an award-winning class.

Thursday:
Bounce U Clarksburg (ages 0 - 5 yrs). Get the little ones out of the house before the holiday for music, fun games, bouncing and exercise! Enjoy the provided snack and tons of bounce time on their awesome inflatables.

Friday: MERRY CHRISTMAS! While local venues are closed, you can check out Ice Skating at the Washington Harbour, the railway model train and holiday exhibit at The U.S. Botanic Garden or even enjoy a showing of “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring.

Saturday:
My Gym Potomac Mighty Mites (3 yrs - 4 yrs). This time, take your preschooler for some fun to build strength, flexibility, learn gymnastics and beginning sports skills---and more independence for these 3 and 4 yr olds mean it’s a DROP OFF class!
