Project Details
Building Blocks was introduced to Chicago in 1996 by educator-wannabe, play ambassador and retail aficionado Katherine McHenry. After working as a public accountant in the corporate world, Katherine quickly realized that retail was her passion and way to express herself. Growing up, she loved to play schoolteacher, tutor and play with kids. It was clear that serving families with educational, developmental and play-based products was her real mission in life.
