I really enjoy making crafts with my daughter and baking with recipes that encourage her participation. Before we go to an Atlanta attraction, it’s also a lot of fun to do an activity that relates to what we are going to see. This page showcases simple pleasures for everyday family fun like cute craft ideas and kid-friendly recipes. There’s also a list of FREE Saturday fun and more.
