GiGi’s Chicago is event heavy, rolling in to the holiday season!

Here’s what’s happening the rest of November…

November 24:

It’s A Playhouse Puppet Show!

Mark your calendars for November 24 from 3 p.m. – 4 p.m.Playhouse dad Chris Krawczyk and his business partner, Bob Anderson, of Puppet Possibilities will lead a puppet-filled hour that will include a 10-minute-long, music-based show using your favorite songs from the 60’s in a multi-sensory experience.

After the show, kids will get the chance to make their own sock puppet complete with eyes, noses and hair. (Socks and other materials will be provided.) Once completed, Chris will teach the kids how to use their puppets to sing a special Happy Birthday to his son, Max.

This is a great opportunity not just for people with Down syndrome, but for siblings to help out on a project. We expect this one-of-a-kind event to be very popular. Be sure to click on this link to RSVP.

And December…
