Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: March 9-13

3/8/15 - By Mary Beth Lawlor

My kids and I are springing forward today right into Spring break this week. If you are in the same boat and have decided to stay in town there are plenty of fun things to do each day.  The following daily events will give you some ideas as will our 120 Things to Do With Kids in CT Before They Grow Up. 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 art, nature, and baking.  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!
