Free and Fun Things to Do this Weekend for CT Kids: 2/4-2/5 Tanglewood Marionettes, Bear Hunt and Ice Skating

2/1/12 - By Mary Beth Lawlor

This unusually warm weather has definitely thrown us for a loop. Instead of sledding, snow shoeing and snowboarding we are hiking, skateboarding and riding bicycles this winter. Not to complain, however it's a bit strange not to have a blanket of snow over everything now that it is February! Speaking of February, there's lots of fun stuff to do this weekend. Feel like a show? The Cinderella Marionette show is sure to be a fun and entertaining outing as is Oliver at the Ridgefield Playhouse. Learn how to survive the winter outdoors at the New Canaan Nature Center or go on a bear hunt at the Roaring Brook Nature Center. Check the events below for more fun things to do this weekend.

We wrote about what exactly to put in those bento boxes this week. Just what the doctor ordered if you and.or your kid is burnt out on pb and j and granola bars for lunch every day. We are very excited to be giving away 4 Tickets to see Wizard of Oz on the Imax Theater at Norwalk Maritime Aquarium. Enter now! There is just one week left of the drawing. We are also giving away 4 tickets to Monster Jam showing at the XL Center  next weekend.  If in the Hartford area, you must check out our popular list of 30 Things to Do with your Kids in Hartford Before They Grow Up. Have a kid's birthday party coming up in Fairfield County? We've got a great list of venues for you. Last but not least, if you have a soccer enthusiast check out soccer summer camps in the Hartford area. There's plenty to do in Litchfield County too.

So, remember to enter our drawing for those Wizard of Oz tickets at the Maritime Museum. Keep an eye out for our next drawing for a Stepping Stones giveaway and a Harlem Globetrotter ticket giveaway!

Also, If you know of a great mom's/parents group let me know. We are going to do a listing soon and we'd love to be able to include as many as possible. Don't forget to LIKE us on FB and follow us on Twitter to stay up to the minute with Mommy Poppins CT!
