Expand to see the parent tip
The Community Dance Academy at Walnut Hill School for the Arts stages its 6th annual Gwendolyn’s Nutty Nutcracker, a playful spin on the ballet adapted from a story by local children’s author David Ira Rottenberg.
It is narrated and runs about an hour, which makes it a much easier first Nutcracker for small children than a full-length ballet.
Parent tip: The one-hour, narrated format is ideal for preschoolers; pick the 1 pm show if your kids still nap later in the afternoon.

Expand to see the parent tip
On the longest night of the year, the Natick Community Organic Farm leads families on a Winter Solstice Walk with flashlights and headlamps along its farm and forest trails.
The guided hike is gently paced and mixes wildlife spotting with storytelling, a nice quiet break from the holiday rush during the week before Christmas.
Parent tip: Bring a headlamp or flashlight for every child and wear boots for uneven ground; the hike runs in rain or drizzle and needs at least 5 people registered to go ahead.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
