Coming Attraction: KaBOOM! Play Day in L.A.

To help celebrate KaBOOM!'s National Week of Play, Los Angeles is getting into the fitter than fit spirit by hosting a play day of its own on Sept. 25 at Trinity Unlimited Child Care Center in Compton.

KaBOOM!, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing play back into the lives of kids, is encouraging all of us to get out and run, jump, skip, turn, twist and shout Sept. 19-27.

Trinity Unlimited is hosting the L.A. event, from 3 p.m.-5 p.m., and the entire community is invited to test out its playground and help paint a mural.

Earlier this summer, First Lady Michelle Obama joined KaBOOM! among others to help build a playground at an elementary school in San Francisco.

KaBOOM! and other organizations such as the American Heart Association recommend that kids play for at least an hour every day.

If only just one hour would tire out my child for bedtime.
