A round-up of things to do in Reykjavík this weekend, as prepared by your 
family friendly editors
- Wake up early Friday morning, since this will be the last day to see the McNaught Comet, visible between the horizon and the moon around twilight.
- Too fab to just call it a sale, the concept/design store Kron Kron is celebrating Happy Days this weekend, by knocking 35-50% off couture gowns from last season. You can leave mom there.
- The National History Museum is celebrating Icelandic arts and crafts througout the ages. The motives vary from Biblical themes to stories of prehistoric monsters, all carefully made in tapestry. Pick up grandma before closing time.
- Since this is the coldest time of year, stop by at a bakery and get an old loaf of bread and feed the ducks (and geese and pigeons
and seagulls) by the lake. They will love you long time. - If you love cute, fluffy things, there are a lot of newly born youngs at the Family Farm Animal Petting Zoo. A new calf was born 15th of December, and a bunch of bacon was born the 29th. Awww…
And hey — let’s be careful out there

My Brownie Girl Scouts (ages 1st & 2nd grade) need info on easy foods and a simple craft or something to trade w/100 other girl scouts at an upcoming event in which they have chosen to represent Iceland at. Any help would be much appreciated.
I went to summercamp as a kid where we had to bring something like that.
I brought a bottle of Lýsi for leaders and staff, for the kids I brought Opal and a small red lava rock (very good option, light weight).
Other ideas that came up were playing cards (available with greatest hits Icelandic landscape and Icelandic birds), as well as small pins, with Vikings, or small Icelands. They are available in most of the book/tourist shops. That is a pricey option though.
If they want to bring some Icelandic food to taste, harðfiskur would be ideal, as well as flatkökur with hangikjöt. Baking pancakes is good, but might be hard for such a large group.
