Long Island Kids' Activities February 1 & 2: Peter Max Family Day, World Wetlands Day, Super Bowl Funday
This weekend, two shows featuring Little Red Riding Hood hit the stage. Head to Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre and see what happens when Little Red gets mixed up with Porquoi pig. At the Bayway Arts Center, go back in time to the 1950’s and watch as Little Red is wooed by three princes. Feeling more artsy? Create a festive Mardi Gras mask at Not Just Art, or get to know artist Peter Max up close and personal at the Nassau County Museum of Art. For budding Super Bowl fans, head to the Sid Jacobson JCC for a day filled with sports. In the mood for some live music?
