Toronto: The Savvy Guide to February

Short days, short month, short tempers (usually directed at short people in your family). It’s February.

Just because it gets dark early doesn’t mean you can put your kids to bed at 4:30 unfortunately. Here’s our Savvy Guide on how to get through the short dark month with a smile.

DO
Nominate a hero for the Today’s Parent For Kids’ Sake Awards.
Why? It recognizes individuals who have made a difference to Canadian children. We’re sure you know at least one.

GO
To the Love at the Zoo event at the Toronto Zoo on February 10 & 11.
Why? Because kids under 12 get in free if they bring a Valentine for their favourite animal and everyone gets a sweet treat upon exit.

PLAY
In the snow.
Why? It’s finally here and we’re not sure if it will last, so grab a sled and get to a hill.

GET
Your Valentine’s Day Cards and make a plan to get them done (with the kids if they are old enough).
Why? Staying up late on February 13th trying to find the nursery school class list and faking your kid’s scribbling is not so savvy!

HELP
Buy a Robot Junior necklace, hand-made with love (check out the tiny glass heart) by glass artist Izik Levy.
Why? They are oh-so-adorable and 10% of profits go to Sick Kids Hospital. That’s what we call a win-win.

Don’t wait too long. February will be over soon—and we can’t say we’ll be S.A.D. about that.
