Busy Bee's opening event will feature a participatory music class with hand-held instruments like maracas, a close-up magic show with cards and coins and, most importantly, the almighty, all-access free play period.

Calling all dads: Here's a chance to get the kids out of mom's hair and hit up your all-time favorite shopping destination. The Home Depot holds free kids' workshops the first Saturday of every month. This week, little guys and gals can assemble wooden picture frames and pick up a few safety tips. They'll even be sent home in one of those stylish orange aprons. Ages 5 to 12.

After this preschooler program, kids may be thankful they're not country boys (or girls). Over three sessions, attendees and adults will get a real feel for life on an old-fashioned farm by paring apples, churning butter and cleaning card wool. Reading stories like Lois Ehlert's Growing Vegetable Soup and belting out "Old MacDonald" will round out the learning experience. Ages 3 to 5.

The Peanut Butter & Jams concert series hosts the upbeat, kid-friendly band The Cat's Pajamas. The group's bass, guitar, drums, keyboards and harmonica combine with a crazy collection of props to keep kids' eyes glued to the stage instead of the TV. Ages 7 and under.
