Weekday Picks for LI Kids: Storytime & Art, Purim Celebration, Hula Hoops & More, March 2-6

3/1/15 - By Linda DiProperzio

March is finally here and we're that much closer to spring. The cold and snow has given many kids a serious case of cabin fever. Until the winter finally says bye bye, we'll have to find ways to keep the kids busy indoors. This week, there's storytime and art at LICM, a Purim Extravaganza, Hula Hoop and more.

Of course, this list is just our top picks--be sure to check out our Long Island Events Calendar regularly as it is always being updated. And to receive this post right into your inbox, sign up for our newsletter, which is now going out twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays).
