Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: Pajama Storytime, Beanpot Finals (Finally) and More, February 23-27

2/22/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

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.
