October 4, 2009 — As temperatures begin to cool, ushering in fall and soon-to-come winter, the Vail Recreation District (VRD) is offering preschool-aged children plenty of activities to get them indoors and out of the cold.

Children ages walking through five years old can enjoy a variety of indoor options throughout the week including gymnastics, skating and discovery and learning. Programs are as follows:

StoryTime Skating

Children can enjoy story hour at the Town of Vail Library followed by skating at Dobson Ice Arena at either 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. on Wednesdays. Story hour is free and skating time is $10 per child for skates and instruction. Call (970) 479-2271 for details.

Gymnastics

The Vail Gymnastics Center offers a variety of preschool classes from 9:15 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday for children that are walking through age 5. Classes include:

* Toddler Bears, for children walking through age 3.5, with instruction on shape courses, balance and swinging to help children develop and explore.
