Long Island Kids' Activities February 11 and 12: Valentine's Activities, Concerts for Tots, and Stand Up 8

2/8/12 - By Dara Stewart

Valentine's activities are the order of the weekend! Your kid can make cards for their loved ones, or your little diva can indulge in a chocolate pedicure and facial while noshing on heart-shaped sandwiches and a sundae. Does your little one just wanna rock? Debbie and Friends will be performing "Story Songs" at the Long Island Children's Museum, and Brett for Kids is doing a free concert at Buckley Day Camp. For something a little different, circus troupe Stand Up 8 is performing at the Staller Center.
