Join your child and see the world through their eyes as they engage in group play. “Let’s hold hands for circle games and sing out loud. Let’s jump really high and march all around. We’ll definitely get our hands messy as we paint, paste, and create. We’ll gather together, it will be just great.” Founded by Susan Ravine and Cara Pollard; visit www.awayweplaychicago.com to register.
