Children and their favorite teddy bears will have a chance to share the spotlight later this month when Orland Square Mall hosts an afternoon designed around cuddly companions and summertime fun.
The Teddy Bear Picnic, scheduled from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 22, invites families to slow down for a few hours and enjoy the simple joys of childhood. In partnership with Build-A-Bear, the event will fill the upper-level Von Maur wing with colorful activities, smiling faces and plenty of opportunities to make memories at Orland Square Mall, 288 Orland Square Drive in Orland Park.
Children can have their faces painted, pick out a fun airbrush tattoo, sport colorful mermaid braids and watch balloon artists twist ordinary balloons into playful creations. The activities are meant to keep youngsters moving from one surprise to the next while parents enjoy watching the excitement unfold…
