“GET UP & GO” AT WESTFIELD FOX VALLEY WITH FREE WESTFIELD FAMILY FUN DAYS FOR TODDLERS AND NOW KIDS 6 & UP May 11, 2012

Get Up & Go in May—join Westfield Fox Valley and the Westfield Family Program for Family Fun Days, including the new Fun Days for “big kids” (ages 6 & up), launching this month. Get Up & Go events are focused on exercise, stretching and taking care of our growing bodies.

Join us on May 11 for books read by a boat captain, starting with a fun and outrageous book, Silly Sally by Audrey Wood. In honor of Mother’s Day, we will read the classic I love My Mommy Because….by Laurel Porter-Gaylord and Ashley Wolff. This book shows how different moms take care of their young. There will also be a fun puppet show and kids will make a special surprise for mom that they will wrap and gift to her.

May 25 will feature stories with quirky humor about a duck who decides to learn to ride a bike in David Shannon’s Duck on a Bike and about being the best you can be in Jamie Lee Curtis’ The Human Race. Kids will then receive mini backpacks to decorate and enjoy a snack.
