What Do We Do All Day

Books and Activities for Kids

Exploring New York City

New York City is a great place to raise kids! What Do We Do All Day? is primarily about activities for kids and families but the NYC archive posts is where you can get to know us and what kinds of things we like to do when we are not indoors!  Join us as we explore all the city has to offer. In these archives you will find our visits to familiar landmarks as well as excursions to lesser known gems. Stay a while and get to know us in our home town.

February 25, 2013

New York in Pajamarama and cityscape art project

I am so excited to introduce a fantastic, interactive New York book for kids: New York in Pajamarama. Not only that, but I actually did a book-related activity: a cityscape sponge printing art project. This is an unusual post for me. Normally I share a reading list on Mondays and I rarely do a related…

Mummenschanz: It’s Great for Kids

December 17, 2012

mummenschanz

It’s that time of year when many families take their kids to a special holiday performance. Often they choose The Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, or maybe a large-scale Broadway-type show.

Transportation Tuesday

April 17, 2012

One of the side benefits of living in New York is the large amount of public art — even on the subways. I am absolutely in love with the latest creation by the amazing Sophie Blackwell, whom you may know as the illustrator of Big Red Lollipop and the very funny Ivy + Bean books….

January 2, 2012

Weekend Snapshots {Christmas Tree}

December 18, 2011

This was get-the-tree weekend and I have to photos to prove it. We live in the city without a car and therefore do not drive to an idyllic tree farm, cut our own tree, tie it to the top of the car and drive home with fingers crossed it doesn’t fall on to the highway….
