I hope the weather holds up tonight for the Wet n Wild showing of “Justice League” on the big screen over their lagoon. Admission after 5 p.m. is only $19.99, but kids 42″ and under can get in free by dressing as their favorite superhero. The movie starts at 6:30 p.m.; park rides operate until 9. https://www.wetnwildhawaii.com/events/dive-n-movies/

Delights on stage
Chinese opera theater is such a visual art form, the kids are sure to enjoy “Flights & Delights: Three Chinese Comedies” on stage at Kennedy Theatre Feb. 16-18 and 23-25. A good way to celebrate the lunar new year. http://manoa.hawaii.edu/liveonstage/fights-delights-introductory-video-is-here/
Get in touch with the land
The Honolulu Board of Water Supply is offering free Blushing Bromeliads as part of its free xeric seed of the month program. It’s nontoxic and doesn’t need much light of water. Sounds perfect for a beginning gardener like me. https://www.boardofwatersupply.com/conservation/xeriscape/xeric-seed-program/featured-seeds-of-the-month
Mini fun for mini me
Where have Shrinky Dinks gone on the craft scene? Perhaps parents thought it better not to encourage kids to play with the oven. But watching the scraps of plastic shrivel to a quarter of it’s size was a vital part of my childhood. Celebrate the year of the dog at Ben Franklin’s Keiki Saturday craft workshops. For $5 kids can make a shrink art dog keychain Jan. 27 10 a.m. to noon. http://benfranklinhawaii.com/docs/01JAN2018_KeikiSaturday_Poster11x17.pdf
