I'm a new member to the group and wanted recommend some outdoor summer fun. Bring your child to the Chicago Parent Magazine booth at the Summer on Southport Festival. Stop by 3700 N. Southport on July 28th & 29th from Noon - 5pm each day and visit UNICOI ART STUDIO there. Schedule a play date with their friend and they can make FREE paper bag puppets to take home. Sign up for art and Mom & Me classes too. This fest has a kids area and just keeps getting bigger. They'll love it!!

For more information on the classes and other services, including birthday parties, go to www.unicoistudio.com. The studio is located in Roscoe Village at 2059 W. Belmont.
