Let’s Play! Fort Building
Join The Alliance for Early Childhood, the Winnetka Park District, and the Chicago Botanic Garden Nature Preschool for a day of building, imagining, and playing together. Using simple, natural materials, children will work with their family and friends to create small and large forts, gathering spaces, and imaginative hideouts. This hands-on experience invites children to collaborate, explore the outdoors, and help shape a playful community space that’s uniquely their own.
