Painted Rocks: The Weekend Project That Gets Your Kids Outside (and Hiding Art All Over KC)
We've been painting and hiding rocks around Kansas City parks for two years now. Here's what actually works — and which paint will survive a Missouri summer.
Outdoor Activities
Print This KC Nature Scavenger Hunt and Actually Use It
A realistic scavenger hunt for Kansas City trails that doesn't send you searching for unicorns. Works at Shawnee Mission Park, Ernie Miller, and Lakeside.
Outdoor Activities
Birdwatching with Little Kids (It's Easier Than You Think)
You don't need fancy gear or a birding degree. Just a cardinal, a blue jay, and five minutes at your local park.
