What could we do?

I want to take my 3 year old son out for a few hours...we only have about $20 to spend....should we go watch a movie, go to chucky cheese, go to a park and eat ice cream....what are some good ideas? I'm dropping my other 2 kids off but only have 2-3 hours to go out.

Thanks!What could we do?
Take him to the park, if the weather is nice, maybe take two squirt guns, and have a water fight. If you don't like the guns, than any kind of water squirter would work. Ice Cream would be nice, but how about a mini picnic? Take his favorite things to eat. Playing at the park and letting him run and you chase him, or just let him have a ball on the swings and slide, etc.

I have a 3 year old grandson and he would love all of this.

At that age, going to the park is like heaven to them.

park %26amp; ice cream sounds great. 3 year olds love to run. All he wants is time with you, and to move! The park is perfect for this age!
nothing food relatedWhat could we do?
Go to a park and eat ice cream. Don't waste your time and money on something that doesn't create interaction between and your son. A movie is a terrible idea. Even if he enjoys it, it has nothing to do with you. Chuckie Cheese isn't much better, but at least there is a chance for interaction. And, interaction is what he'll remember and cherish.
Why can't you just take him to the park and save your money? Children don't know about how much things cost. If you get him in a habit of doing things that cost money he will want to do those things more often.



Most kids are happy just being able to go outside and play hard.What could we do?
What about the zoo. My son loved that at age 3.
go to a petting zoo, and let the child touch the animals,

or

go to a regular zoo (and hold onto your child) and takl about what you see. .
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap

why not explore a local park or library?

Maybe go to the local produce store and learn colors by picking out fruits and vegetables?

why not pack a picnic lunch and relax together in a nice shady spot...

the possibilities are endless, there is no need to spend a dime when all you want is quality time. go for activities that give you and your child "togetherness time" time without all the hustle and bustle of distracting games and treats. My favorite thing to do with my son is to makie a giant mess in the kitchen by having him "help" me cook treats, he is two and I let him stir the batter, or pour in the water, that sort of thing. happy "holiday"
My 4 year old grandson loves to help pack a picnic lunch and go to the park and have a picnic and play on all the stuff.
Yes. Go to the park. If ice cream is what he likes go have some with him. Go play on the slide and swing and have a blast with him. He will remember his special time with you.
you should go to park and Ice cream.
I would say park and ice cream, your child gets out to play and has a yummy treat to top it all off!
Well, it really depends on personal preference. I think the park sounds like a fun idea. Little kids tend to like the park. Maybe try a petting zoo type thing, unless he is too little. Or you could go to an aquarium to see all the fishys. Have Fun!!!
Ugh! I can't stand Chucky Cheese!!!!! I would much rather go run around the park.



What my family did is get family passes to the local zoo and children's museum. They run for a year and usually after your second visit with the family pass it has already paid for itself... so you pretty much go for free the rest of the year. It comes in handy at the end of the month when you have paid all your bills and don't have much $$$ for entertainment.
Take him to the park on the playground or just run around with him a little bit. Little boys love stuff like that. It also wears them out so that they'll sleep at night. I wouldn't give him too much ice cream. It's not the healthiest stuff in the world, but if you want to, it's your child. Make sure whatever he does gives him exercise.
I think that the best thing that you could do for your son is to just play with him and let him laugh and run. They are very simple at that age. If you just took him out in the back yard or a park. Let him throw a ball, teach him to play catch and let him know emotionally that he is secure and special. But play WITH him, don't just be a watcher. Don't just take him to a playground and let him run around.Save that for a less special time when you don't have the time or energy to give him.



And of course, ice cream as the culmination of the event is a great ending! LOL and enjoy your son. They grow up too fast.
He would love the park and that is free!
Why not ask him which place and what activity he prefers out of those choices. Chucky Cheese is a nightmare, but if that's what'll make him happy, then go there. Same for the park and ice cream. Giving him a chance to pick what he really wants to do is what he'll cherish.
You could go to Chuckie Cheese and spend some money then go to a park or get ice cream. Either would be fun.
Go buy a couple of happy meals and take him to the park, that's where you will get the most quality time with him that he will remember.
Just 20 bucks, huh? Well, you could always sell him to a Chinaman. You'd probably make a few grand off of it.
