Mashantucket Pequot Museum hosts the Fry Bread Sundae Social and Scavenger Hunt. Explore the museum while you search for clues, and then at the end enjoy a treat. Fry Bread is a Native-American type of flatbread, like fried dough.  

How about a trip to France this weekend? The Wadsworth Atheneum's presents "Bonjour," as part of the free second Saturdays program. Visit with Characters from "Babar," and enjoy French dance, music and art.  Also in Hartford, your favorite Disney friends take stage at the XL Center's Disney on Ice: Worlds of Fantasy.

Winter is a great time to take advantage of the theatre options around the state. "Bubblemania" showcases giant bubbles and their unique properties at the Hamden Arts Commission. "Beauty and the Beast" starts a month-long run at Bridgeport's Downtown Cabaret Theatre. Norwich's Spirit of Broadway welcomes "Dani Girl," an upbeat, entertaining musical about a nine-year-old's battle with cancer. It is a comedic way for young ones to deal with a serious subject. 

Hands-on Lego building, tutorials and galleries will keep little hands and minds busy at Discovery Museum's Block Party in Bridgeport. Enthusiasts will also want to check out the Lego Robotics and Motorized Legos Workshop in Fairfield. All ages will love the Annual Shoreline Train Show in Branford, featuring models and layouts as well as door prizes.
