Cans for Fans! Kennedy Krieger Food Drive

Use the power of social media to help your community. For every new fan we get on our Facebook page, between now and November 10th, we will donate a non-perishable food item to the Kennedy Krieger Institute's Food Drive.

For 75 years the Kennedy Krieger Institute with its dedicated staff has worked to enrich the lives of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and provide support and education to the families of these individuals. The institute's food drive will give the donated items to local, low-income families of special-needs children in the Baltimore community.

If you wish to drop off an item in person, visit us at our Fells Point or Quarry Lake locations where we have collection boxes decorated by some of Kennedy Krieger's own inspiring individuals.

Every "Like" counts so if you're already a fan, please share with those who aren't. We can't do this without you, so don't underestimate your Facebook sharing power!

Friday Fun Feature: Wheely Bugs!

Wheely Bugs  are fun, durable and beautiful ride-on toys. The padded body of this adorable ride-on toy is made from a tough polyurethane leather-like material. The handle, which is also padded, is made of rust-proof aluminum. Parents will appreciate the easy clean up.

They have interactive antennae, ears, horns (depending on the creature) which are all sturdy enough to resist curious hands trying to pull them off!

The multi-directional wheels work best on flat, even surfaces like wood, linoleum and tile. Little ones at the verge of walking and those past toddler age will work their gross motor skills as they propel themselves forward, backward, and round and round.

But seriously, how cute would one of these guys look in the corner of the play room? Available at both locations in two sizes and perfect for ages one to five.
