This Week: Introducing WeeWork Kids Crafts Series, Tech & Science Guide for NYC Kids, Best MLK Weekend Events for NYC Families
It's ironic in an Alanis Morissette sort of way that the week we launch our Tech & Science Guide for Kids I end up losing my Internet access. Thank goodness for kind neighbors willing to share their WiFi connections with a blogger in need. (One of the upsides of living in such close quarters in NYC!) In this brand-new geeky guide, you'll find all kinds of high-tech fun for kids, including family-friendly NYC makerspaces, Minecraft clubs, cool apps, science museums and more.
Our other big debut this week is our brand-new series of WeeWork Posts. Beginning next week, we'll be sharing simple crafts, recipes, indoor games and other fun activities that you and your kids can do at home for FREE. Check out this great make-your-own indoor snowballs project for a taste of what's in store. Great for those dreary winter days when it's too cold to play outside.
And what are you doing on Saturday? Hopefully joining Mommy Poppins at a special New Victory Theater matinee of the kiddie cabaret Still Awake Still. We're cohosting exclusive pre- and post-show activities, and even offering a 20% discount on tickets to our readers.
Here's what else we covered on the NYC site this week:
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
Check out Brooklyn's brand-new outdoor recreation destination: the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park, which offers ice-skating in winter, and roller-skating and water play in summer.
Meanwhile, Staten Island welcomes its very first makerspace featuring cool workshops for kids including a Minecraft club. Yup, it's already in our Tech & Science Guide.
In honor of the Lunar New Year, which is coming up on January 31, we rounded up the top 15 celebrations for families including everything you need to know about the big Chinese New Year Parade and Festival in Chinatown.
Kids and parents will have a blast solving interactive mysteries at The Power of Poison, a fun hands-on installation at the American Museum of Natural History.
We kicked off our brand-new series of WeeWork posts with a cool seasonal craft: make your own indoor snowballs.
Looking for a sweet day trip or weekend getaway? We rounded up six fun food factory tours in the Northeast where you can see how some of your favorite snacks are made... and sample them, too.
We're hard at work updating our Summer Camp Guide for the season. Start your research by checking out our roundup of upcoming camp open houses.
Best bets for Martin Luther King Day weekend include the second annual Black Comic Book Festival in Harlem, the special Mommy Poppins Still Awake Still matinee at the New Victory Theater, and many wonderful ways to celebrate the life and legacy of civil rights icon Dr. King.
