Where does Dad take his 13 month-old daughter to explore her artistic talents? Can a two and a half year-old touch and feed animals in the metroplex? How can Mom initiate a sculpture study with her four-year-old son? These are questions often asked by parents and childcare providers looking for simple methods to enhance and enrich the lives of their youngest children outside television and the playroom.

Lynda Morley's "Outings & Adventures" details over 350 locations within the Dallas - Ft. Worth metroplex to take children ages one to five. The author gives tips on how to schedule, plan, execute, and evaluate these outings and indentifies age-appropriate activities associated with each adventure.
