We are always on the look out for inexpensive and/ or free activities to do around town. In San Diego, the possibilities feel endless, for which I am so grateful. This was a fun find: the San Diego Firehouse Museum in Little Italy. My ticket was three dollars, and both kids were free. It's an old firehouse, so it's a small museum, but both kids loved it.
We started our day by reading lots of firefighter books we checked out from the library, and these were the ones we enjoyed:
- Fireman Small
- Elliot's Firetruck
- At the Firehouse
- Spark the Firefighter
- The Little Fire Engine
- A Firetruck Named Red
- New York's Bravest
- Fireman Small: Fire Down Below!
- The Little Firetruck (This firetruck is driven by Jill. I am always trying to find books with females.)
- Spot Goes to the Fire Station (about a grandpa, so Everett loved it, even though it's for littler kids)
- Maisy's Fire Engine
- A Fire Engine for Ruthie
The day after the museum visit, we read books again, built a city, and played firefighter.
