5 FREE Storytimes for Kids in Maryland

Looking to get your kids out and about to do a little learning combined with some fun this summer? Here are some ideas for completely FREE storytimes and activities for your littles! I didn't include storytimes at local libraries because by now I think I have promoted them enough through my blog that you know of their existence. Please do check out the storytime schedule at your local library though - they are fabulous!

1. Read with a Ranger!
Check out Oxon Hill Farm National Park. Every 3rd Monday of the month, you can attend a free Ranger storytime with Ranger Steph. The storytime runs a full hour and includes stories, songs, and activities. https://www.nps.gov/oxhi/planyourvisit/calendar.htm

2. Storytime @ Whole Foods
The Columbia Whole Foods offers storytime at 10am every Tuesday for kids ages 2-5. Snack provided. Check out the schedule here:  http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/service/story-time

3. Barnes & Noble Story Times
The one in Ellicott City offers story times at 11am every Monday and Thursday. Be sure and check out your local Barnes & Noble for more information. While you are there, sign your older child up for the summer reading program they offer so they can earn a free book! https://stores.barnesandnoble.com/store/2831

4. Pirate Story time @ Urban Pirates
Come and enjoy storytime every Wednesday and Friday @9am from June21st - August 25th at Urban Pirates in Baltimore. After storytime, you can stay for the pirate cruise at a 25% discount! Check out their website for more information. http://www.urbanpirates.com/baltimore_storytime.html

5. Colonial Story time @ Thomas Isaac Log Cabin
Wouldn't your child love to be able to say they participated in a storytime in a real log cabin! You're in luck if you are in the Maryland area! The Thomas Isaac Log Cabin is offering free storytimes all summer (there's air conditioning, so no worries about the heat). The dates and times offered are: July 5 @10am, August 1 @9am, August 22 @10am, September 12 @9am, and September 27 @10am. These aren't publicized online, but if you want to call to confirm and get more details, here is the number 410-313-0419 for more information!
