Kookaburra Play Café in Chicago




Kookaburra Play Café

Is reopening after a fire and we need your help!

Two weeks ago we suffered an electrical fire in the basement of our beautiful play space forcing us to close our doors.  Dealing with insurance companies and cleaning up the mess has been a heartbreaking and painful process.  Because we wanted so badly to reopen in time for the holidays we decided to fix it at our own expense instead of waiting for months for them to figure out which company is responsible for what.  So now we are ready to reopen our doors this Saturday, December 21st.  We are asking for your support to come and play with all of our new toys.

If you don't know about us, we are a play café in Lincoln Park.
Kookaburra is a special place for families to relax. This is a place where we can do the everyday things with our children and enjoy every minute without the added stress. Sit back with a cup of Uncommon Ground's coffee and bite into the delicious and ever so lovely, Lovely Bake Shop goodies!

See you there,
Joe and Anya

KidSwitch For Toddlers Review

 
When I first got the KidSwitch, I let it sit on my bedroom dresser and noticed the glow in the dark feature. I gave it to my sister because my nephew is a toddler.  I am impressed with this feature because my nephew said that he “loves the glow in the dark “handle.” It has created a new and fun nighttime adventure that helps him sleep because the light is in the room with him and now he is not afraid of the dark.  
To him it looks like a nifty new toy but to my sister, it is a great teaching tool. He seems to enjoy the independence of being able to turn on and off the light by himself. My sister said the installation was really easy and she just screwed it on the light switch.
The little moon shape at the end of the switch is really cute and we read the Good Night Moon book for fun after we put up the switch. However you introduce the KidSwitch, it’s a fun tool for parents and kids.
