Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: March 2-6

3/1/15 - By Jacqueline Miller

It looks like March will certainly come in like a lion with yet more snow that has arrived on Sunday. Hopefully these picks for the week will inspire you, whether the days are filled with snow or sun. We only highlight one activity per day in this post, but you can find plenty of other fun options each day in our Event Calendar and March GoList. This week you can enjoy some yoga, cooking, and a crafty story time.  For even more ideas, our Winter Fun and Indoor Play Guide are terrific resources. Editor's Note: Some of these events may be canceled or postponed by the occasionally unpredictable winter weather. Always call the venue first to confirm. Stay warm and safe!
