Get Cooking at Westfield Fox Valley with Free Westfield Family Fun Days April 11, 2012

Get cooking in April—join Westfield Fox Valley and the Westfield Family Program for Family Fun Days featuring “Young Chefs of Westfield.” Kids will learn how to fuel their bodies in a healthy way by encouraging them to get in the kitchen and cook with their families.

On April 11, join Chef Troy Antoine Oie Oie, our crazy chef storyteller, for story time starting with Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake by Michael B. Kaplan, a book about a bunny who likes chocolate cake so much that she claims she will marry it one day and Froggy Bakes a Cake by Jonathan London, a story about Froggy who wants to bake his mother a birthday cake all by himself which turns into a big mess! Kids will then tap into their own creativity and create beautiful pom pom ice cream sundaes. Kids will also be entertained with a very special magic show – all about food. Plus, there will be fun and tasty snacks.

April 25 will feature stories about food and gardening told by Banana Bo, our darling storyteller, starting with Pizza at Sally’s by Monica Wellington, which teaches lessons about where food comes from. The second book, Planting A Rainbow by Lois Ehlert, teaches children how to plant their own garden and nurture growth. Kids will then enjoy a snack and decorate their very own aprons that they can wear when helping out in the kitchen.

On both days, moms can experience the newest fragrances from Yankee Candle and be the first to find out about new products and special pricing. Plus, Dell will also be at each event, with computing advice, games and fun for the whole family.
