All of our normal play spaces are on the north side, so not convenient to them </p> <p><a href="http://www.sodroom.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sodroom.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chicago-bees#post-2441360 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 06:04:05 +0000 MenagerieMama 2441360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MusicaV: they already have one! Thanks though. Any other ideas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chicago-bees#post-2441319 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 00:34:15 +0000 MusicaV 2441319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a membership or tickets to the Museum of Science and Industry? It's within walking distance of the campus. There is a children's area called the Idea Factory. Plus there are other kid-friendly areas like trains and farming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chicago-bees#post-2440274 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 13:03:52 +0000 MenagerieMama 2440274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has one little cousin and her first birthday is (really) fast approaching and I realized I haven't coordinated her gift. We'd like to get her more of an "experience" gift, preferably one that involves other kiddos around her age. Cousin is home with her SAHD who while brilliant in other ways is not the most child oriented parent and cousin has almost zero socialization with other kids. So we'd like to help out since we don't live close :wink: </p> <p>Any ideas from Bees in Chicago? They live on U of Chicago campus and don't have a vehicle, so needs to be close or near a metro/bus stop. They didn't get LO anything for her first birthday (or even remember it!) so we don't have anything to compare, but would like to do something nice as she is a sweet little girl. </p>
