For you city Aunties looking for something to do with young children visiting for the day, Savvy Aunties suggest making a trip to the local pet store!

If you live too far away from the zoo or aquarium, visiting the puppies, kitties, birds, lizards and fishies at the pet store may be just enough to keep the kids entertained while learning about animals. And if parents allow, kids can take home a fish to take care of. The store can teach them about taking care of a fish, including how to feed it and keep the tank clean. They’ll also let you know which fish get along in the same tank and wish fish won’t. Last thing you want is for your nephew’s fish to take a bite out of your niece’s Nemo!
