Description

Kids and families can see what Northerly Island's nature play space is all about. Staff provide guided instruction on how to use common kitchen tools like micro-planes and peelers to convert sticks and branches into works of art, build simple toys, survival tools and more. Each program date staff will provide instruction on making a different kind of simple toy, tool, or artwork.

To learn more about each date's activity email northerlyislandpark@chicagoparkdistrict.com or visit the Northerly Island Facebook page at www.facebook.com/northerlyislandpark. Nature play is a fun way for your child to build skills, feel empowered and practice creative problem-solving. Staff will be onsite to provide instruction and facilitation.
