This week brings the chance to catch make-ups of some events rescheduled due to all the February snow, including the exciting conclusion to the Beanpot Tournament. Unfortunately, the Monkey King Puppet Show scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed once again due to roof snow removal at the library. Since there's still plenty of snow out there, other fun activities to try with the family include snowshoeing at Gore Place or skating at one of Boston's outdoor ice rinks.

Storytimes are always a good choice for the preschool set, and there are some great options this week. Gather the kids up for morning storytime at the Elephant's Trunk in Lexington or for Pajama Storytime with Catching Joy at the Blue Bunny on Friday evening. Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to check out the full events calendar!

Please check with the event venues for snow cancelations before heading out this week.

President's Week has come to an end, and everyone's schedules are going to back to normal. That means many of us will be looking for things to do with the kids--big and small--both during the day and after school. There are quite a few fun things going on across Long Island, from exploring nature (yes, even in this cold) and enjoying a kid-friendly movie and snack, you can find a few of our favorite events for this week below.

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).

Although we only highlight one activity per day in this post, you can find plenty of other fun options each day in our Event Calendar. This week you can enjoy some pajama play, owls, and disco ice skating. Remember, there are lots of ways to enjoy these snow-filled winter days.

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!

Winter Break may be over, but the fun doesn’t stop there! We’ve scoured the county for ways to keep the stimulation going for Westchester kids this week.

Standouts are two cultural opportunities: Harlem Remembered: A Tribute to the Harlem Renaissance, featuring plays, poems and music, and I Married a Witch. There also are a couple inspired craft programs, like Tussy Mussies with the Garden Club.

Even though the kids were on break last week, we have lots of school news to report. We also have the scoop on a couple of cool new family businesses, kids' auditions for a circus show and a new line of funny buttons for pregnant women devised by a Brooklyn dad. Plus: England can keep their baby prince—we've got our own royal birth at the Central Park Zoo!

Taking a spin in the city is one of my family's favorite pastimes. Until recently, we zipped around town with our son in a bike seat. We'd ride to work, the park, really anywhere we had to go. Now that he's outgrown his seat, my son's working very hard on mastering his two-wheeler so we can continue biking everywhere. In the meantime, we're planning a bunch of awesome riding routes for the summer. Here are our picks for the best places to bike with kids in Manhattan and beyond.

Did you know that over 300 species of our fine-feathered friends are observed in the Newburyport area each year?

It turns out this place really is for the birds.

In fact, serious birders from all over flock to this northeast section of the state in the hopes of getting a glimpse of their favorite winged animal. But birding is a nice, leisurely family activity, too – in all seasons. Check out the following resources, grab a pair of binoculars, and head out into the great outdoors to see how many cute little birdies your family can spot.
