Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: March 9-13
My kids and I are springing forward today right into Spring break this week. If you are in the same boat and have decided to stay in town there are plenty of fun things to do each day. The following daily events will give you some ideas as will our 120 Things to Do With Kids in CT Before They Grow Up. We only highlight one activity per day in this post, but you can find plenty of other fun options each day in our Event Calendar and March GoList. This week you can enjoy some art, nature, and baking. For even more ideas, our Winter Fun and Indoor Play Guide are terrific resources. Editor's Note: Some of these events may be canceled or postponed by the occasionally unpredictable winter weather. Always call the venue first to confirm. Stay warm and safe!

About the Author
Mary Beth Lawlor
After fulfilling a childhood dream of one day living in a high-rise building in a big city (eight years in LA and 10 in Manhattan), Mary Beth is now partially fulfilling another childhood dream. As a kid, she envisioned her four gorgeous children running through the idyllic countryside while she created pottery in her studio. Well, fast forward 30 years and there is no pottery studio and only two kids but she has the idyllic countryside part down. After studying business and art, and then working in corporate marketing, graphic design as well as event planning and development, Mary Beth is now happily blogging.
