During this “fun” time of isolation from the people and places we love, we’ve come up with a daily activity for your kids to take part in! Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 am eastern, we’re hosting a 30 minute virtual playdate. The Indy with Kids Virtual PLAYdates will take place via video on facebook.com/Indywithkids
