Fun Online Field Trips
My kids love visiting new places but sometimes it is impossible for us to leave the house due to colds, time, etc. When they start experiencing "cabin fever" I flip on the computer and off we go on a virtual field trip.
Here are the kids favorite online destinations.
Reading Rainbow Trips
Watch a newspaper get made
Beachcombing in southwest Florida
Dive to see coral reefs
Mister Rogers Factory Visits
See crayons, sneakers, and more being made.
How Stuff Works Factory Tour Links
A good list of factories that offer online tours. Includes a cookie factory, a candy factoring, plastics and others.
Bear Country USA
Bear Country Virtual Tour
When we can plan trips outside of the home, the kids enjoy visiting local museums, zoos and the fire station best. Check with your local restaurants and bakeries, newspaper printing press, veterinary offices, etc. for fun and educational field trips. You would be surprised to learn how many small businesses are willing to give tours of their business at no charge.
