They’ll work with upcycled clothing and fabrics\, pre-loved crockery\, beads\, buttons\, ribbons\, and more. Then\, they’ll transform these un expected materials into artworks and keepsakes they’re proud of. \nTo be gin\, every session includes a friendly\, guided lesson. That way\, no one ever feels stuck. After that\, there’s plenty of room to experiment\, m ake choices\, and follow their imagination. There’s no single “right ” way to create – and that’s the whole point. \nMost importantly\, o ur club is relaxed and encouraging. Mess is welcome\, and every idea is wo rth exploring. Along the way\, children build real confidence. They learn not only how to make things\, but also how to trust their own creativity. \nAs a result\, they begin to see the world a little differently. Suddenly \, an everyday object can be full of possibility. Something old or forgott en can become something beautiful and new. \nIt’s creative\, hands-on\, and a little bit magical. At the same time\, it introduces big ideas about imagination\, resourcefulness\, and caring for our planet. By giving old things new life\, children discover just how much can be created from what we already have. \nEach week\, your child will leave with something they made themselves. Even better\, they’ll leave with a growing belief that they are an artist. \nNo experience needed. No pressure to be “good.” Just bring curiosity – we’ll supply the rest. \nAges 7 – 13 LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T190600Z LOCATION:Gorton Center\, 400 East Illinois Road\, Lake Forest\, IL\, 60045 URL:https://gortoncenter.org/event/everything-can-be-art-with-vee-gunn-sep tember/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=chicago-il X-SOURCE-NAME:Gorton Center X-SOURCE-URL:https://gortoncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Teen Craft Cafe • Actividad de Manualidades para Adolescentes DTSTART:20260917T220000Z DTEND:20260918T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260915T055739Z UID:30299-1789664400-1789671600@highwoodlibrary.org CATEGORIES:arts,family DESCRIPTION:Join the Young Adult (YA) team in the Makerspace. \nWe get cre ative with hands-on art activities this August! \nPerfect for young artist s and makers of all skill levels! \nNo prior art experience needed\; just bring your creativity and get ready to have fun with bold colors and big i deas! \n\nSeptember 5th: Recycled Puzzle Craft\nSeptember 12th: Mini Room Dioramas\nSeptember 17th: Peruvian Inspired Friendship Bracelets\n\n• • • \n¡Acompañe al equipo de Adolescentes en el Makerspace! \nEste A gosto\, vamos a ponernos creativos con actividades artísticas prácticas. \nPerfecto para adolescentes artistas y creadores de todos los niveles. ¡No necesita experiencia previa en arte! \nSolo traiga su creatividad y p repárese para divertirse con colores llamativos y grandes ideas. \n\n5 de septiembre: Manualidades con rompecabezas reciclados\n12 de septiembre: M ini Habitaciones en 3D\n17 de septiembre: Pulseras de la Amistad de Inspir ación Peruana LAST-MODIFIED:20260915T055739Z LOCATION:Highwood Library & Community Center\, 102 Highwood Avenue\, Highw ood\, IL\, 60040\, United States URL:https://highwoodlibrary.org/events/teen-craft-cafe-actividad-de-manual idades-para-adolescentes-41/2026-09-17?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium= ics&utm_campaign=chicago-il X-SOURCE-NAME:Highwood Library X-SOURCE-URL:https://highwoodlibrary.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Mindful Thursday • Jueves de Bienestar para Niños DTSTART:20260917T230000Z DTEND:20260918T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260915T055739Z UID:30205-1789668000-1789671600@highwoodlibrary.org CATEGORIES:family,wellness DESCRIPTION:This program gives children a space to learn how to give their bodies and minds a conscious break.

Every relationship teaches us something\, but not every relationship is h ealthy\, and sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between someone who loves you and someone who’s trying to control you. \nIn this youth group\, we’ll talk plainly about what jealousy\, possessiveness\, and co ntrolling behavior can look like\, how to notice it in your own relationsh ip or a friend’s\, and what steps to take if something feels off. We’l l also talk about what faith says love should actually look like: patient\ , kind\, and never about ownership. \nFor High school and Middle school.    \n\nBring friends and besties! \nPYGS Lounge.  Food is on us!

Little Sparks is a rotating\, int eractive program designed just for our youngest participants\, one where e very few minutes brings something new to touch\, see\, sing\, or discover. Because we know little ones can only stay locked in for a few minutes at a time\, we’ve built the whole hour around quick\, joyful shifts: a song and shake in the Social Hall\, a peek into the beauty of the Sanctuary\, a sensory bin filled with Jewish treasures\, a story that brings a Jewish value to life\, a dance party\, and a quiet moment of connection\, all in one session. This isn’t a sit still and listen class. It’s movement\, music\, texture\, and wonder\, paired with the warmth of our community and the first sparks of Jewish identity and belonging. \nThis is a parent/car egiver class\, so little ones should be accompanied by an adult throughout . We love seeing grown ups get in on the singing and dancing too! Whether it’s your child’s first time in a sanctuary or their fiftieth\, we wan t them\, and you\, to feel completely at home here. Bring your little one (and their grown up) for a morning of connection\, community\, and the beg inning of a lifelong love for Judaism.
