Community Events and Outdoor Exploration
Playful Acorns loves to partner with nonprofits, community groups, businesses, parks, and more to share the benefits of spending time outdoors and connecting with other caregivers and kids. Here's a glimpse of some free, family-friendly events that we'll have a presence with throughout Dane County.
Playful Acorns provides activity guides curated from nature-based nonprofits, schools, and organizations that you can take outside to explore nearby parks and trails after visiting our Pop-Up Play Spaces! On occasion, our Pop-Up Play Cafe host sites will also serve as gathering spots for FREE Hike It Baby/We Are OutGrown walks, local library events, StoryWalks® and more. If you sign up for email updates, you'll also hear about other local events that focus on nature exploration, free play, process art, and family resources.
