Make a Magic Potion

This Halloween-adjacent craft session at West Pullman invites kids 4 to 12 to play mad scientist for an hour. On Wednesday, October 7, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM, little witches and wizards mix colorful ingredients with silly and spooky names into a mini cauldron, then design a recipe sheet that names their potion and gives it a magical purpose. It’s a low-key, creative way to spend a fall afternoon, and the library handles all the setup — you just bring the imagination. The event is free, though accessibility requests should be made at least 14 business days in advance by calling (312) 747-8184.
