Have you seen "Cowboy Jack"? Longtime local residents John & Andrea Havard wanted to create a fun and educational show for kids that would showcase area attractions and businesses by means of a âweekly virtual field tripâ via YouTube. With John dressed head to toe like a cowboy and Andrea working hard behind the camera, the duo creates a new episode once a week.
"Cowboy Jack" focuses on speaking peer-to-peer with children to develop their vocabularies while going on adventures to cover everything our community has to offer. Agility dogs diving into pools, indoor play places, The Woodlands Childrenâs Museum, a science lab specifically for kids, equestrian center, train museum...if your child likes it, Cowboy Jack has you covered!
The entire goal is to entertain children and encourage learning through play and exploration. Check out "Cowboy Jack" - Educational and Fun Videos for Kids on YouTube and subscribe to catch the latest episodes!

If you think lifeâs a snore, try one of these TAPS events offered by Harris County and held at various locations throughout the area, including as close as Burroughs Park just minutes from The Woodlands.
I signed up for a FREE Friday Cart Cruise, and this was my view from the back of a golf cart one lovely morning a couple weeks ago! The 8-passenger golf cart was occupied by me and two of my children, and a plastic shield separated us from the driver / guide who was super friendly and shared â via the cartâs intercom system - a myriad of interesting facts about the Spring Creek Trail. On our 1-hour cruise beginning at Pundt Park in Spring, we stopped several times to learn about identifying trees, plants, markings, and tracks. My kiddos received a valuable nature lesson, and I went home with a couple of freshly picked bay leaves from the forest.
Upcoming events through TAPS include movie night in the park, archery for children, canoeing, cart tours, kayaking, stargazing, yoga, and more!
WoodlandsMommy.com Pro Tip: Even if the event says âWaitlist Onlyâ, donât be discouraged. Sign up anyway! Cancellations happen very frequently and the staff are diligent about working the waitlist.
