For a fun, free art activity, bring Chicago kids by My Favorite Toy Store in Elmhurst through June 30, 2009.

My Favorite Toy Store art festival

The My Favorite Toy Store location in Elmhurst will have a stock of free coloring pages available to any children who come to visit this great local toy store. Budding young Chicago artists can color an elephant page, a fish page, or draw their own artistic creation from scratch on a blank sheet of paper.

Finished colored pictures will be on display in My Favorite Toy Store through June 30, 2009. Passersby are invited to stop by to admire these masterpieces. Children feel so much pride at seeing their art on public exhibition that kids often bring friends and relatives by the toy store to show off their creations.

Elmhurst City Centre summer events

My Favorite Toy Store plans to display these kid-created artworks for so long so that visitors to local Elmhurst community events can enjoy them well into the summer. Chicagoans might be stopping by The Uptown Shop to view a collection of vintage Barbie® dolls. Or they might be coming to Elmhurst to participate in such special events as the Heart of Downtown Elmhurst Concert Series every second Saturday of the month, the special dining night offers every Thursday night, or the Cool Cars Under the Stars events every Wednesday night.

Art supplies at My Favorite Toy Store

While kids are coming by to pick up or drop off free and completed coloring pages, they can also shop My Favorite Toy Store's exceptional selection of arts and crafts items. This Elmhurst toy store stocks an extensive array of art supplies and craft kits from brands such as Creativity for Kids, ALEX, and Klutz. Check out their sidewalk chalk toys for summer fun!
