"The Very Hungry Caterpillar Pop-Up Event"
Kohl Children’s Museum is celebrating the 45th
birthday of Eric Carle's beloved masterpiece "The
Very Hungry Caterpillar" with
friends from Chicago Children's Theatre. Join Kohl Children’s Museum for a day
of insect-spotting as kids are invited to make dozens of delightful
caterpillars!
Visitors will be greeted with a giant colorful
Carle-style chalk caterpillar created by a local artist on the Museum’s entry
pavilion. Then, kids can grab their own sidewalk chalk and stake out a section
of pavement in the outdoor Habitat
Park exhibit to draw a
caterpillar of their own (weather permitting). Kids can also dye and cut tissue
paper in true Eric Carle fashion to explore a fun new medium to create their
own caterpillar-inspired artworks.
Representatives from Chicago Children's Theatre
will be on hand to provide information about their upcoming performances of THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR AND
OTHER ERIC CARLE FAVORITES, on April 25 & 26 at the North Shore Center
for Performing Arts in Skokie. Guests and visitors to Kohl Children's Museum
will have the opportunity to purchase advance tickets for these shows today
only for a
30% discount!
