From intelligent animals to tool time, there's something for everyone in this week's MacKID picks. Turn off Bluey and turn on some family fun this week. Get the scoop on the can't-miss events happening January 17-23:
1. Me, You and Elephants Too!
When the cold weather keeps kids and animals indoors, a virtual zoo trip is just what you need. Join the National Zoo for a high-energy, music-filled romp with the elephants, all from your cozy living room, without packing a single snack. Jan. 18
2. Teach an Animal to Count
Think your pup is the brainiest on the block? Then don't miss the chance to teach them to count. That's right, kids can tune into this virtual workshop and learn about animals' number sense and tips for teaching them some 1, 2, 3's. Now if they could just learn to stay... Jan. 19
3. Build a Toolbox
Hit your local Lowe's for this month's kids' workshop and your little builders can craft their very own toolbox. With the right tools at the ready, they'll be an in-house fix-it crew before long. So handy. Jan. 20

4. Storytime with the National Postal Museum
The best times of day? Storytime and mail time, of course. Combine their two loves at this interactive virtual read-aloud from the National Postal Museum. These postal pros will have your kids learning and exploring more about the USPS then you thought possible. Now if they could just keep the bills away. Jan. 22
5. Leap Towards Your Dreams
If your littles never miss a chance to dance, they'll love hearing Principal Dancer Misty Copeland share her inspiring story. Follow up the fun by creating a masterpiece with artist Christopher Myers. Easier than a trip to the museum, more fun than a PBS special. Jan. 23
