Long Island Kids' Activities February 16 & 17: Valentine's Day Party, "Shout, Juba & Jive," & Glitz and Glam

This weekend, ValleyStreamMom.Com, a website that focuses on all things happening in or around Valley Stream, is hosting its Second Annual Valentine's Day Party at the Valley Stream Presbyterian Church. "David Pleasant Presents SHOUT, JUBA & JIVE" is at the LICM in honor of Black History Month. Do your kids love the cartoon characters from Nickelodeon? Why not bring them to United Skate of America's Breakfast with the Characters where they'll get to meet Umizoomi's Geo, Yo Gabba Gabba's Foofa, Dora, and Spongebob and Patrick. If your daughter is looking to channel her inner diva, Hot Cuts Hair Salon is hosting a Glitz and Glam Party where she can get all glammed up with hair beading, makeup, and manicures.  While you're there, enjoy pizza from Novi Restaurant and some sweet treats.  Also on tap: a Winter Family Scavenger Hunt at the Sherwood-Jayne Farm in Setauket, as well as Walt Whitman High School Marching Band's Night at the Rink at the Syosset-Woodbury Ice Rink in Woodbury.  As always, please check out our events calendar every day for fun activities for the family, and don't forget our guide to winter break activities for things to do on the Monday holiday and all week long next week!
