Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: Free Cooking Class, Pinocchio & More January 26-30

1/23/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

This week is filled with free classes and class demos all around town. Our picks include opportunities to try out cooking, music, or kickboxing – truly something for everyone! In performances, families can catch a Japanese-influenced adaptation of Pinocchio on Friday, and KerPlop! The Tale of the Frog Prince is still hopping on stage on Thursday and Friday as well. 

Plenty of libraries and book stores also offer sing-a-longs, concerts, and story times to liven up an otherwise dull winter day this week. In case you missed it, we recently shared 10 Things to Do in Boston with Baby in the Winter just in time for the big snow storm this week. Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to check out the full events calendar!
