The holidays are over and now we're just stuck with the cold, grey skies. We no longer have our tree or menorah to bring some cheer to the home, so it's time to add a little wintry sparkle of our own. We actually made these before the holidays but keep them around all winter. The glittered pinecones are a little bit rustic and a little bit glam, and add a touch of kid-crafted panache to your home. Adding your favorite scent can infuse your home with so much coziness that you won't mind if you're stuck inside all day.

We love taking the kids to NYC's world-class museums at any time of year. But in the dead of winter, a trip to explore awesome and often interactive installations makes for a fun way to keep warm and toasty while still getting out and about.
We've rounded up six exhibits that are worth checking out with your family this season. From a retrospective of groundbreaking rock icon Björk to a kid-centric introduction to the wonders of Japan to an interactive installation about the way things move, here are the best new museum exhibits to explore this winter with kids in New York City.

We're always looking for fun places for kids to get crafty. Doing art in a dedicated space (that isn't your living room!) is a win-win and painting your own pottery takes your DIY crafts to a whole new level. It's fun, anyone can do it and you get to take home something special at the end.

Take a look outside. There’s no doubt that winter has arrived in New Jersey! If you’re searching for ways to keep everyone warm and busy during a frigid January week, look no further than here. Explore the earth’s creatures past and present at Adventure Aquarium’s Dinosaurs in the Deep or Frelinghuysen Arboretum’s Garden Sprouts. Warm up with story programs at Pottery Barn Kids, Terhune Orchards and Montclair Art Museum, or chill out at Disney on Ice Presents Princesses and Heroes. You may get inspired to give ice skating a try at one of New Jersey’s outdoor rinks. And don’t forget to check out our event calendar for even more weekday and weekend events.

I know it sounds a bit bizarre, but in Camelot, that’s how conditions are. As the rest of the country braces for winter storms, our little Angelenos are ice skating on the beach and continue to enjoy plenty of outdoor fun at places like the South Coast Botanical Gardens.
Still. It is winter, and that’s a good time to snuggle up in your jammies at the Torrance Library’s Pajama-Rama. In Thousand Oaks, Theater League presents Lerner and Lowe’s Camelot. This is a great way to introduce girls and boys to the joys of musical theater.
Read on for our weekday picks this week, which are just a sample of what's on our full calendar.
