SHARE: Mother's Day activities for the whole family

Share the power of play this LYP season, with your family or on your own! With this wonderfully engaging Studio Ludo playpack, let's keep our awesome kids playing while social-distancing. In honor of Love Your Park @ Home, Studio Ludo developed these Mother's Day activity sheets for kids and families to enjoy and celebrate moms (the best play-mates of all time)! Share the love with others by donating a play pack to a Philly family in need. #SpreadTheJoyNotTheVirus
