With so many kids glued to screens these days, Kansas City mom Faith Prindle wanted something different—something that got families outside, exploring, and making real memories. So she created the 'Explore KC With Me' Kansas City Parks Bucket List Activity Book.
Combining the creativity of a coloring book with the excitement of a scavenger hunt and the magic of outdoor discovery, this interactive activity book invites families to explore the best parks across Kansas City, both in Missouri and Kansas, as well as surrounding suburbs.
More Than Just a Coloring Book
Faith’s vision goes beyond pages and crayons. This unique book is a full-on adventure guide. Part scrapbook, part challenge, part bucket list, it helps families unplug and reconnect with nature and each other.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Beautiful illustrations of real local parks, waiting to be colored.
- Scavenger hunts for every park to keep kids moving and exploring.
- Photo challenge prompts to help families capture their moments and build a keepsake.
- A park checklist to track your family’s progress. Add a sticker, color in a star, or create your own system as you explore each destination.
- A community connection via Instagram with the hashtag #ExploreKCBucketList, where families can share their discoveries and see how others are adventuring through KC.
