The Urban Kids Knit Club | Grades: 3–8- register online

The re-emerging and trendy art of knitting has resurfaced in metropolitan cities around the globe! In New York, San Francisco, and Paris (just to name a few) kids have rediscovered the fun of what they can create with two knitting needles. And now, we offer a funky knit club to Chicago! Calling all yarn-loving kids; especially beginners. We learn the basics of casting on and a few simple stitches. Then we expand to different stitches and larger knit items. Each class also makes one joint project that will grace our Old Town Clubhouse neighborhood. Taught by Kelly Friedl. Yarn and needles will be supplied by our sponsor company, The Urban Infant.

Away We Play | Movement, Music, and Messy Art

Structured for tots 6 to 36 months, this class is a place where children learn through “play” where creative expression is encouraged and lasting friendships are made. 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.
