With many schools on Spring Break this week and or next, loads of museums and nature centers have planned great activities for the kids each day. This weekend is no exception. Bring the kids to sing and dance with the Irish Youth Folklore Troupe from County Clare, Ireland at Stepping Stones Museum. Wish you knew how to add a hinge to this or that? Bring your budding carpenter to a Mr. Fix It Workshop where everyone will learn fastening techniques. For the future Olympian runner in your family, take your choice of entering the 5K, 10K or Kids Fun Run in Bloomfield's Burn Calories for Fuel Race. The Noah Webster House in West Hartford is hosting A Colonial Girl's Day Out. All girls age 6-12 and their dolls are invited to attend an afternoon of colonial games, crafts, dancing and even a tea party.
