These live, one hour family friendly shows are awesome for all ages and geared toward birth through 8 year olds and their parents. Kids under 1 are free! This past Sunday was Springfest, an extra special 4 hour, multi band extravaganza with loads of free activities for kids. Check out our full photo recap below.
ENTER HEREfor your shot at 4 free tickets ($24 value) from ChiIL Mama to see Environmental Encroachment at BK Kids Shows THIS Sunday at noon!! Kids under 1 always free. Shows are all ages but geared toward birth-8 year olds with parents. EE is great show for older kiddos who are over what my 11yo daughter calls the "One little ducky... two little duckies genre" too.
Did you miss EE last time they played Beat Kitchen? Did you go and have your mind blown and can't wait to see them again? Well here's your chance to catch them! Circus, hooping, juggling, theatre, performance, and lots of audience participation make this a show you do not want to miss!
We were there for the duration Sunday, with our Instrument Petting Zoo & Rock N Roll Dress Up. My daughter, Sage, sold Girl Scout Cookies to benefit her troop.
Beat Kitchen's Food Rocks Too!
Our friends at local art gallery, Beauty and Brawn were in huge demand with wand making. The owner's a Chicago based mom of 2, like me.
And it was truly a treat to meet Au Pairs from Germany and Sweden among other places, staffing the Cultural Care Au Pair booth and giving glitter tattoos to kids and adults too. It was great to finally meet Fit4Mom in person, as we're in a Moms in Business group together. She had a prize wheel and kids & adults could do a simple exercise like jumping jacks to win a fun ink stamper. The owner's another Chicago area mom of 2. It's always great to see Mary Macaroni--on stage and rocking the balloon creations too. She made some incredibly cool giant rainbows and even did a custom NARWHAL (her first ever) for my daughter to give to her narwhal obsessed big brother! Thanks also to Mary Macaroni for the sweet magic kit. My kids have been having a blast with it for days. And the tricks are quite convincing. Highly recommend it. She sells them at her shows and they'll be available on her updated website soon, too. If your kids are too little to DO card tricks, get one for yourself and amaze your littles with your mad skills!
It's always great to see Beat Kitchen/Subterranean owner, Gomez & his wife & three kids. We love to promote Chicago business owners & parents here at ChiIL Mama! Want to partner up on an event, giveaway for our readers or class promotions? Shoot us an e-mail!
