BB Kids: Nov. 30-Dec. 2 Weekend
"Who are the people in your neighborhood?"
Just one more day till December! Time to think about gifts, Santa photo opps, and ways to get the kids out of the house without freezing. Here are a few ways to spend the weekend, and a special offer for BB Kids readers below.
-A Lady Santa will be making an appearance at Mini Jake in Williamsburg Saturday and Sunday 2-6pm, so if creepy men in beards freak your kids out, maybe a woman will make them feel at ease. Fifth-generation Brooklynite Erica Goepel will be enrobed in a handmade costume based on traditional St. Nicholas images and a pro photographer will get your child and her on film for $20 with RSVP. First 15 families go home with a FREE gift from Mini Jake and a goody bag from the Hip Tot Music Fest!
-Enjoy brunch while your kids make cookies at Isa in Williamsburg on Saturday from 12-3pm. Just make sure they save you some.
-The Hip Tot Music Fest at Littlefield in Gowanus, Sunday at 2pm is getting a visit from Sesame Street’s Bob McGrath. You probably can’t picture him, but you’ll remember him by the “Who are the people in your neighborhood?” song. Details at hiptot.com.
-Make art with your child at Bird River Studios in Williamsburg this month, and they’ll help make it possible for youth hurt by Hurricane Sandy to make art, too. 50% of proceeds from their holiday workshops will go to The Children’s Movement for Creative Education’s Hurricane Sandy Art Relief Caravan, which is providing art therapy to kids in hard hit areas.
-Learn to batik and make your own batik-ed t-shirt, pillow, or accessory with your kids–or without them!–at Hiho Batik in Park Slope next Friday, Dec. 7 4-6pm. BB Kids subscribers get $10 off and 20% off in store. Details here.
-A Norwegian Park Slope mom has launched a site, ellaswool.com, where you can buy soft, warm and wooly Nordic knitwear for children so you don’t have to worry about them freezing their tushies off.
Have a great weekend and thanks for subscribing!
