Our Chicago Toy and Game Fair favorites

By Alaina Buzas

We had a lot of fun at the 10th Annual Chicago Toy and Game Fair this year. You're really never too old to get excited about the newest toys and games on the market during the holiday season. After testing a few of the products ourselves and talking to local kids, we've narrowed down our five favorites from ChiTAG, plus two of our favorite games from young inventors.

Penguin Foot Pottery

Don't be afraid to get your hands a little dirty. Take the kids to Penguin Foot Pottery in Logan Square and they can make their own holiday gifts for the family. Families were lined-up at the fair to take their turn at the pottery wheels and had a lot of fun spinning some clay.

Penguin Foot offers a variety of classes, including walk-in classes just for kids and parent/child classes.
