Filling up summer days is easy with these MacKID Event Picks. Learn about octopuses, catch a concert or do some cooking. Your seasonal staycation has never looked so inviting. Fun from home? Don't mind if we do.
1. Celebrate World Ocean Day
This virtual fiesta starts with an octopus read-aloud by author Randi Sonenshine. If those eight legs aren't enough, wrap up the fun by drawing an octopus with illustrator Anne Hunter. Professional writers and artists, octopus stories, and new friends? That's definitely a great way to celebrate World Ocean Day. June 6
2. Rock Out with Laurie Berkner
The Eras Tour? That's got nothing on this legend of children's music. Join the fun at a mini-concert heralding the 25th anniversary of the classic Victor Vito album. Living room mosh pit, anyone? June 7
