We bought an annual pass to the aquarium last year though. Kids are free so just bought tickets for me and DH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-toddler-activities#post-1149731 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:20:03 +0000 sarac 1149731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woah, that's a lot of money. I spend about $250 per year on three memberships (science museum, children's museum, and the zoo). That's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-toddler-activities#post-1149497 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 17:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1149497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly anything. We just make outside play a priority and we have a few projects we decided to do - like make him a teepee - that will hopefully make constant indoor play more fun. </p> <p>We bought a childrens museum membership, it was $90 for the year - normal admission is about $10 so between the three of us, it paid for itself in three visits. </p> <p>We do have a Y membership (more for us than him) and DH takes him swimming there weekly, if we wanted to do lessons it's only $40 for 6 weeks. But we haven't signed him up for classes anytime soon - good idea though!</p> <p>So to answer the question - we don't really spend anything monthly but sometimes have a few expenses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-toddler-activities#post-1149461 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 17:23:11 +0000 betsyboop 1149461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're currently enrolled in 2 classes, so between those, our museum membership and admission cost to play spaces, we spend around $200/month. Fortunately, our city also has lots of free activities so we take advantage of those too. The zoo (free admission) has sing-alongs twice a week and the Whole Foods markets here host free Gymboree and music classes each week. In general, classes can get very pricey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-toddler-activities#post-1149265 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 14:56:17 +0000 lamariniere 1149265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: same here, we have memberships to the zoo, acquarium and a few museums. We don't do a lot of extra activities since LO goes to playgroups and preschool. Luckily where we live, child-centric activities are incredibly affordable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-toddler-activities#post-1149257 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 14:45:47 +0000 looch 1149257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had the membership to the children's museum, it's paid for itself 3 times over at least.</p> <p>eta: we have done swimming in the past, my son didn't love it so we didn't continue it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-toddler-activities#post-1149247 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 14:39:01 +0000 pinkcupcake 1149247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that the weather is getting cooler, we're enrolling our LO in more activities so we don't go stir crazy. It's starting to add up - with swimming, music, tumbling, we're at almost $150 per month. I wish we had more low cost options around here! </p>
