Where have we been lately?
Cook County Forest Preserve Presentation
Did you know that the Cook County Forest Preserve has a group of Naturalists who give presentations to groups? We were lucky enough to have a brilliant presentation on Owls earlier this week. We learned about different types of owls, their habitats and habits as well as other fun and interesting facts. Thank you Cook County Forest Preserve!   |
Science is Fun!
Now that the weather has cooled we are back inside at the library for Activity Group and Science. Last week both science classes met and made amazing discoveries. Family Science explored waves, light and sound. The music they made was beautiful!   The Science Lab is working on a series about oil Spills.  |
Legoland Discovery Center Pix
Some of us spent the day at Legoland Discovery Center in Schaumburg yesterday and had a great time. It is great to go during the day when it's not packed! Enjoy the pictures :)    |

Prodigy Glass Works
 Today our group visited Prodigy Glassworks in Oak Park's Art District. This is a great place whether your kiddo is an artist or just likes to look at and make really cool stuff. Prodigy has both a gallery and glass blowing studio on premise and offers classes for all ages. Today our kiddo's made pendants, magnets and snack plates. The process is simple and fun for all ages. Start with a clear piece of glass, glue on your glass beads, frizzle, shards, or chunks until you're happy. Once your design is complete, leave it in Prodigy's capable hands and they will "fuse" the glass together in a kiln process. In a week or so swing by to pick up your work of art and viola, you've created a masterpiece, an heirloom and a lovely piece of art all in one. Matt was so great helping us set up our classes so please give him a call if you'd like to try this too. |
