What better way to show your child the wonders of the world then by playing outdoors. Inspire your kids to love nature at a young age. Spring time is the perfect time to do just that...

| Luke, Mason and Bradley = The Tres Amigos |
By Guest Blogger, Jessica
The Tres Amigos started their playgroup when they were all just little seeds in our belly's... Their friendships have continued to blossom as are our monthly playdates & creative art projects do too. Spring time is here so we wanted to get down and dirty, while also taking advantage of some fun in the sun. We always theme our activities and keep them inexpensive so anyone can do it. We hope our creativity will inspire you and your friends to start a playgroup and craft projects too.
