‘Sew What?’

Threads cover, but they can also reveal: traditions, images, ideas, memories. This new exhibition at the Children’s Museum of the Arts showcases the creations of a variety of artists using textile and fiber, including Louise Bourgeois, Eliza Kentridge, Nathan Vincent and Adrian Esparza. The show is accompanied by an interactive site-specific installation by Jeila Gueramian that combines textiles and lights, and “The Marvelous Mini-Clothesline,” a project that children can add to by making tiny models of their own clothes.

‘Little Red’s Hood’

This isn’t your grandma’s “Little Red Riding Hood.” A new production from the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater, written and directed by Liam Hurley, this show gives the old-fashioned fairy tale a hip urban sensibility. Here, Little Red is a smartphone-obsessed city kid, and the wolf, Wulfric, is a misunderstood dude with a weakness for sugar who tries to intercept her when she heads to the country to take cupcakes to Grandma.

‘Junie B.’s Essential Survival Guide to School’

That’s none other than the unforgettable Junie B. Jones, the elementary school heroine of the book series by Barbara Park and several Theaterworks USA stage adaptations of Ms. Park’s work. Now Theaterworks is beginning a season of hourlong weekend productions at the Kaye Playhouse with this musical, receiving its New York premiere. In the show, Junie writes a book imparting her precious wisdom about school, gleaned from her vast 18-month experience. And if you miss the fun this time, it’s coming back on March 19.

‘A Voyage Through Jewish History’

This journey involves not just miles, but years. In this permanent interactive exhibition at the Jewish Children’s Museum, young visitors can travel from Abraham and Sarah’s tent to the Western Wall in contemporary Jerusalem and beyond. Activities along the way include giving water to Rebecca’s camels, playing the strings on David’s harp (a high-tech version with beams of light that emit sounds when struck) and taking part in the exodus from Egypt.

‘One Snowflake’

We’ve finally seen more than one of these in New York, and as it is beginning to feel more like winter, the New York Public Library is offering a way for children under 5 to celebrate the season. This free musical series draws on the catalog of Music for Aardvarks, the classes begun by the children’s rocker David Weinstone, and comprises tunes about snow and rain and getting around the city. The fun includes singing, dancing, chanting and jamming with various instruments.

‘Rebel, Jedi, Princess, Queen: Star Wars and the Power of Costume: The Exhibition’

Sure, the Millennium Falcon and all those weird planets were cool, but what about the robes, helmets and uniforms? Darth Vader wouldn’t have been the same without his heavy-breathing headgear, or Chewbacca without his yak hair and mohair exterior. This exhibition at Discovery Times Square features more than 70 costumes and artifacts from the “Star Wars” franchise, including the latest movie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The show also offers filmed interviews with designers and actors; sketches, photographs and notes; and a special-effects interactive in which  visitors can see an image of themselves as a “Star Wars” character.
