Don’t forget to check out all the Earth Week events. There are a ton going on. Check my post about them here.

Prospect Park has scheduled some events for Earth Week. I have chosen what I think are the best of them below.  For a full listing of the events going on at Prospect Park this week and weekend, visit their site.
Have you seen any of the Planet Earth or Blue Planet BBC series? They are fantastic. Prospect Park is having a free showing for you and your kids on Wednesday, April 23 at 4 pm. The one they are showing is "Planet Earth: Seasonal Forests".  Appropriate for all ages. 44 min.

On Friday, April 25 there will be an Arbor Day Celebration: Children’s Story Time from 2 – 3 p.m. Story readings from some of the most famous children’s books that have trees as their subjects.  There will also be a Tree Walk from 3 – 4 p.m. where you can learn what famous specimens call Prospect Park home on a tree walk with a Naturalist.

Lastly, on Sunday, April 27, you can and an expert can learn to tune up your bike from 1 – 4 p.m. Bring your bike to the Audubon Center and get help tuning
it up for spring. Also, learn quick lessons for maintaining your bike
and improving its performance.

Are you interested in having your free portrait taken with your child for Mother’s Day?  Rumor has it that there isn’t any "catch" – it really is free, you just need to sign up for a Windows photo account which is free too. The Windows photo studio is "for real", and it is a nice event and supposedly very fun . You get a mini makeover while your tot chomps on snacks and drinks. Then you get your shoot! The photo studio is in Brooklyn Heights at 89 Montague Street. The offer is on until May 11th. The studio is open from 11am-6pm. For more info, drop by or email:[email protected]

We used to live one block away from the Upright Citizens Brigade.
We used to see the lines stretch around the corner to get in for their
Asssscat show. So I was curious when I found out that the UCB is
putting on a children’s show. It sounds fun, cheap and like fairly
sophisticated comedy. Here is the scoop:
The Wizard’s Lounge is an hour-long comedy show for kids ages 4
and up. The show is part PeeWee’s Playhouse, part Harry Potter, and
part Late Night with Conan O’Brien. It’s a unique, interactive, and
silly show that will be fun for all ages. It runs every Sunday from
April 20th through May 11th. Showtime is 12:30pm. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door or at http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/1690.
The UCB Theater is located at 307 W. 26th Street between 8th and 9th
Avenue (212-366-9176; newyork.ucbtheatre.com). Subway: Take the C or E
train to 23rd Street.

Have you ever done Belly Dancing? How about your teen girl? If not, this might be your chance. I took a belly dancing class eons ago and it did wonders for feeling great about your body and all its jiggles. You can sign up for the class at GUMBO that starts Thursday, May 1st from 7-8 pm.  The instructor is also teaching a Middle Eastern Dance and Rhythm class for Children starting May 1 from 4-4:45 pm. It is for ages 4 and up. Your kids will slither like snakes, use finger cymbals, belly dance and improvise.
