Kokomo Post Kids: Eat, Play, Learn - Dec. 19
Hey Kokomo! It’s that time of the week again. Our staff with kids are happy to share a few of the places their kids like to eat, play, and learn in and around Howard County. Check out this week’s picks for yourself!
Kokomo Kids Eat
Chocolate Covered Marshmallows on a stick from J. Edwards Fine Chocolates & Gourmet Cakes
2106 W. Sycamore St, Kokomo, IN 46901 | (765) 626-0142
A treat from J. Edwards can make any day sweeter. We stopped in to look for small gifts for friends and family and couldn’t resist picking up a few things for ourselves. The baskets near the front door caught our attention, filled with treats that would fit perfectly in a stocking or add a festive touch to a gift card.
The boys spotted the “treats on a stick” and chose the marshmallows—three regular-sized marshmallows dipped in white or milk chocolate, then drizzled and sprinkled to create one of the cutest treats.
If your family is still Christmas shopping, everyone (including Santa) would love a gift from J. Edwards this holiday season.
Kokomo Kids Play
Visit with Wrangler and his “Reindeer” Friends this Christmas
2110 W. Alto Road, Kokomo, IN 46902 | (765) 419-1748
Wrangler and his friends love playing reindeer games this time of year, and there are several ways you can join the fun and learn more about farm animals like Wrangler.
The final Breakfast with Reindeer event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 21, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the farm. Participants can make a snow globe, take photos with Wrangler the reindeer, enjoy reindeer rides, and more!
If you can’t make it to the farm, you can book a Holiday Wrangler-gram, where Wrangler will come to your home, office, school, or event. Wrangler-grams are available until Dec. 28 and can be booked online.
Registration is required for events at the farm. For more details, visit the Wrangler and Friends website or Facebook page.
Kokomo Kids Learn
Bake with a Holiday Cake Pan Experience Kit from the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library
220 N. Union St., Kokomo, IN 46901 | (765) 457-3242
Stay warm indoors with a fun family activity using an experience kit from the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library. We love baking and cooking as a family and appreciate that the library offers a variety of cake pans you can borrow with your library card. This is especially helpful for special occasions like a child’s birthday or seasonal treats for Christmas.
While cookies and candy are traditional holiday goodies, why not grab a simple cake mix or recipe and explore the unique cake pans available at the library? Once your cake is baked, you can borrow the cake decorating experience kit to add a creative finishing touch.
To see all the available experience kits at KHCPL, visit the online catalog and search for “experience kit.”
