Slow down summer, your August is showing. Luckily we've still got plenty of fun on the horizon with a packed lineup of free activities for all ages in this week's MacKID picks. From Olympics to tidepools, to storytimes and more, the dog days of summer have never looked better.
1. Stories, Songs, and Rhymes...Oh My!
If the thought of reading your kids' favorite story even one more time has you spiraling, just tune in to this virtual storytime. Let someone else be on book duty, for a few minutes at least. Maybe they'll even find a new favorite for the rotation. August 1
2. Discover the Origin of the Olympics
Join the Olympic mania that's sweeping the globe and learn about the history of the games. Fire up the wayback machine and head for ancient Greece while creating your very own vase for the occasion. Go for the gold, or at least have fun trying. August 2

4. Investigate Real Life Wonders
Wow your littles with some jaw-dropping facts and photos during this live storytime. Nothing like learning about real-life wonders to spice up a Sunday afternoon. Best part, you're not in charge. It's like a mini-vacation. August 4
5. Explore Tidepool Habitats
The easiest trip to the ocean you'll take all summer when you tune in to this online program with the Aquarium of the Pacific. Get up close and personal with tidepool creatures. Amazing views, lots of learning, no sand to deal with later. August 6
