K-5th Adventures: Balloon Horns is a free after-school library program that combines storytelling, live music, and a hands-on science craft. Kids will listen to a reading of Beatrice and the Nightingale, hear the sounds of a cello, and construct their own working balloon horn to take home. This program is designed specifically for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. It takes place at the Zebulon Community Library, which offers free parking in its dedicated lot. You do not need to bring any supplies, as the library provides all the crafting materials for free, but arriving a few minutes early is smart to secure a seat in the activity room. It is a smart weekday pick because it bridges the gap between school hours and dinner with a structured, educational activity. Your kids get to experiment with sound waves and music without you having to clean up the crafting mess at your own kitchen table.

A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
