Three days, three ways to treat the kids before school starts

This paid piece is sponsored by Dawley Farm Village.

There are three days to go before most of Sioux Falls heads back to school.

And we found three ways to add in a little extra fun before it’s back to class — all with an easy trip to Dawley Farm Village.

Head to the movies

The last few days before school are forecast to be hot ones, so cool off inside Century East with a kid-friendly film. Paw Patrol or Jungle Cruise, anyone? Click here for information and tickets.

Kid-friendly shopping

We have lots to tell you about why your family needs a trip to Kidtopia soon. Starting with these: Check out their selection of books specially designed to help kids transition back to school.

Also, you can pick up some fun last-minute school supplies here.

And if you have a child of a certain age, we love these Sketch Pals. They clip onto a backpack, you or your child can write a note, and tap the nose for the message to disappear!

And finally, Kidtopia pro tip. If you have a fan of fidget toys in the house, they’re going fast. Stop in soon.

Follow Kidtopia on Facebook, comment with your back-to-school photo by Aug. 31 and you could win a $50 gift card!

Create-your-own treat

And cap off your day at Dawley Farms with a trip to CherryBerry — especially appropriate given the hot temperatures this week.

You’ll find low-fat and non-fat frozen yogurt options, sorbet, custard, gelato and Italian ice.

Plus the topping bar is stocked with boba, fruit, cake balls and classic favorites.

Summer hours are 12 to 9 p.m. daily.
