Parents in the Roscoe Village and Avondale areas will want to make a note in their journals, as a sensory play date is being organized nearby.
The Sensory Friendly Friday playdate, organized by Nina Salem, is getting ready to welcome families with children for an immersive and memorable experience with nature. The experience will take attendees to a vintage taxidermy and insect museum in Chicago during quiet hours. The environment will be controlled, and flashing lights and loud noises will not be permitted. This is an excellent way for those attending Kids’ Work Chicago Riverview to build on their education.
Guests can expect a gentle atmosphere with limited visitors for the best environment possible. Salem, who is autistic, understands the importance of welcoming and peaceful surroundings for local children who face sensory issues. Attendees will have a four-hour window to play and explore in a quiet setting, and organizers will have several activities available, with plans available based on each family’s interest. This is an excellent activity to follow up daycare in Chicago.
Families can contact the organizers to plan a specific activity for their child. The exhibits will feature various touch-friendly items, helping each child explore and utilize their senses in a safe environment. Parents are also encouraged to reach out if they require additional accommodations for their children when planning to participate in the gathering.
The sensory experience will be held at The Insect Museum in Chicago, starting next Friday, September 5, at 11:00 AM. Parents and interested parties can make reservations online. Tickets are $15.18 for kids and $28.52 for parents and guardians.
